Tributes to Dad Are Not Just for Father's Day

Tributes to dad are not just for Father's Day.  Good fathers are there for their children every day of the year whether they can be with them nor not. 

I was scrolling through some of my photos this evening and happened upon this one which I had taken some time ago.  I liked it then and I like it now.  I like what it represents.  A time together sharing an experience in a nice spot.  Sure the weather looks less than perfect and yet it looks like they are content to be together. Perhaps this is something they do often or perhaps it is something that they do rarely.  Either way it is fraught with the potential for good memories...even if no fish are caught.

Dad and Sons - photo by Kate Elim, Lake Anna, VA

There is a spot by Dike 3 on Lake Anna that has a parking lot and some great fishing.  You can count on finding fishermen there almost anytime you drive over the dike.  Sometimes there is only one, other times there might be a half dozen or more.  It is a popular spot with the private side of the lake on one side and the main lake on the other.  The parking lot is handy for those that don't have access to the lake and must drive here to enjoy it.  I'm glad it is there.

It is a spot I cross frequently occasionally stopping to talk and/or to take photos.  When I spotted these three I knew it was a shot I wanted.  I like the feeling it generated in me when I saw them together.

I'm not sure if this is a dad with his two sons but it well may be.  And if it is not?  No matter.  Dads are important and so are all of those that "parent" children.

There is something about a lake or other body of water, and the images of folks fishing, that creates the quintessential Americana scene.  Very delightful photo, Kate!

Kate-a terrific photo and sentiment.  Fishing with little ones is one of life's bonding moments for a father and son.
