Distant Shoreline

I was sitting on the edge of the causeway that crosses Kangaroo Lake up in Door County. It was quiet with only a few fisherman moving about. A soft mist rising from the lake merged with the early morning sky obscuring the distant shoreline. This lake goes south for miles on the east side and is a favorite spot for seagulls coming over from Lake Michigan. Mallards and Herons feed in the shallow water next to the road and if you are quiet they drift close, concentrating on catching breakfast. This particular morning, Rocky and I walked down towards a family also trying to catch something for supper. A young boy was getting a lesson from his Dad in the fine art of not tangling the line when you cast. Mom looked on with a smile as she saw the beginning of a lifetime of fishing stories in the making. They loved Rocky and enjoyed stopping to chat.  Always a great way to start the day.
