Thanks for looking and commenting, Chris. The boys were more interested
in diving off the top deck of the boat house, but the girls wanted to
explore.

Oh yes, Jim. I have 2 granddaughters who would love me to have a canoe and
water on which to paddle it. That looks like a fun day.

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.
