Lake Pictures Part 3: The Path Back
We turned back the way we came.
This is the view west over the lake from the point where we turned back. (The path around the whole lake is really long.) The sun mostly casts these trees in shadow.
Walking back toward the sunken brush, I spotted this orange bobber caught in the branches overhead. You have to watch above and behind you when casting or the trees will eat your tackle. A better approach is to hold the fishing rod horizontal to the ground and flick it sideways toward the water. Admittedly this is harder to do.
This is the second of the two most popular types of bobber. It is a round ball. These are almost always half red and half white. When a fish bites, the whole bobber tends to go under. If not, don't bother pulling on the fishing pole: the fish is either not serious and won't set the hook, or is not big enough to catch at all.
These leaves are pink and yellow.
A dogwood tree grows close to the path.
The dogwood leaves are rich red.
The path curves back toward the causeway.
This fallen log hosts several shelf fungi.
Close up, you can see rings on the shelf fungi.
Nearing the causeway, colorful trees cast their reflections in the water.
This sycamore sapling stands on the far side of the causeway. Patches of thin brown bark peel away, leaving the flashy white layer visible from quite a distance. These trees like to grow near water.
