On this first Friday of 2025's June, it was to Sikes Lake I ventured for some nature communing under a cloudy gray sky.
Of late the weather has been a bit frightful, what with random lightning bolts, hail balls, downpours and wind gusts with enough force to turn walking vertical to horizontal. Along with the need to dodge various projectiles sailing in the wind.
Soon upon beginning my high-speed walk around Sikes Lake I came to the scene you see above. Three kids fishing. Hoping to hook a catfish. For dinner.
The three kid's means of motion, to bring them to the lake, was three scooters. Modern day scooters are a huge upgrade from the scooters which existed way back when I was a kid.
I took the above photo of Sikes Lake a minute before I came upon the three kids fishing. In this view we are on the rocky shore at the east end of the lake, looking west. The three kids fishing were about 50 feet to the left, or south, if you prefer compass type directional information.
That gray sky looks a bit menacing. Looking like lightning bolts or a tornado could come from those clouds.
Thunderstorming is on the weather menu for later today...
