Spring Lake

Sunday morning, 
we went for a walk on this brand new, beautiful pathway around Spring Lake.
There were a lot of people fishing...
it's always fun to strike up a conversation with fishermen, it usually starts with
"are you catching anything"?
The 3 boys we met first were quite friendly, they caught a fluke, and released it afterward.
They were young fishing entrepreneurs, you could not help but hang around and talk with them.
One told us that one of the others won the fishing contest the year before at the lake.
As he listened to his friend tell the story, his cheeks flushed and he had the cutest smile.

Spring Lake recently improved this pathway around the lake,
it's just beautiful!



Right away I noticed this father fishing with his daughter...

Meet Tessa!
(I'm pretty sure that was her name)
When I asked her dad if I could take her picture, she immediately struck a pose!

Pose number two!
What a sweet little girl and she was a bit of a character.
I asked her if she was catching anything and her dad said, much to his surprise, 
they did catch a fish, and they released it.
Tessa said, "it was disgusting"!

She pointed out these turtles, I may have missed them.



The hubs noticed these little ones.







This was such a great investment the town made, it was wonderful to see so many people enjoying it.

Another great day in the books!

Beautiful park! It appears to be getting lots of use, too. I bet she was having fun even if she thought the fish was disgusting! LOL!

Debbie, I am beginning to believe that you live in a Garden of Eden. This really a lovely park and a beautiful place to walk and enjoy the good weather. I loved your conversations and that little one did look like a character for sure. I loved the turtle photos too.
Sending loving hugs your way to you two!
