My grandson celebrates his birthday on July 4th, so I spent the
afternoon with family at his recently acquired house on a local lake.
For the older folks, it was a day for fishing and boating. For the
gr-grandkids, it was swimming and rides on a Seadoo and in a canoe. For
me, it was visiting and picture taking, ending with a meal from the
grill. For a day that started off with rain, it was a fine day.
The lake is a TVA impoundment that furnishes potable water to the two
towns in the county. This tree, at the water's edge and alongside a
boat ramp, has seen a rough life, but still lives. Its character caught
my eye.

My son owns a canoe. After an unsuccessful time fishing from it, he was
commandeered by his grandkids who wanted to go exploring, around the
bend, and up the nearest creek. I watched one group depart.

Comments and critiques welcomed.
For those who might wonder, yes, all of the kids wore flotation gear, as
did most of the adults.
