Something new...........

Okay, I'm starting the new year off with some new "Cartoons" for my eleven dedicated followers. You have supported over the last eight years. Yes, eight years!  Wow, it's amazing, I am averaging  approximately 1.375 people per year joining as followers. With success like that, I'm not stopping, I plan on having one more follower join in 2018. I must be doing something right....... There is good news, I have between 500 and 700 page views per month, that's not bad and I enjoy posting on this blog. Sooooo, stay tuned for more silly  Cartoons" and enjoy these new toons......     

This why you never keep your worm near a bobber, that is unless they are on monofilament in the water.....

Hmmm.... a bobber whisperer. Interesting, very interesting. If you are having problem with your bobber, you may need to call a "bobber whisperer".... 

Oh how scandalous......a strip bobber!

Oh yeah, I do beautiful decor maps. Looking for a great decor idea for the lake house or lake cabin, frame your favorite, lake, river, or bay. Makes the best Gift!

Unlike most maps, There’s a tiny mermaid hidden in the waters which folks love to search for and some say she moves around! You'll love the waterfowl which are hand painted (touched up) on the canvas prints to give that original look and each map is hand signed by Leo. For a personal touch, you can even add a small star to the location of your lake house or special place and add a few words such as "Evan's Lake House, Est. 2014" or be creative. The signatured Ruby Meridian, waterfowl and vintage plane have a story that’s included in the signed Certificate of Authenticity.  Leo Lakes treasured maps will make a cherished gift for that special someone. 

Do More Wading...

I was in Florida last week wading around a bay with my camera. I spotted this sailboat with the American Flag flying and thought it would make a great photo. 

Little did I know, there was a lot more going on in this photo than I first thought. Can you pick it out? I didn't realize it until I was looking at the photos on my computer screen.

See the sailboat in the distance. It has come loose from its mooring and washed up on the shore. I wonder what the story is...................I may never know, but I do know this "Life is short, Get away from the big screen and get on a big stream and..............

Something else, I do beautiful maps. Paddle on over to my website to see some great maps of your favorite lake, river, or bay...LeoLakes.com makes great gifts for the Lake Lover, Lake House, or Fishermen.

I found the best fishing hole, sort of.......

I was in Florida last week and discovered the best fishing hole ever! I was lucky to have my camera with me to document the catches. Obviously, this is not the kind of fishing that you are thinking of, but still fishing is fishing. I met a few new friends that were fishing from the shore. Mr. Bittern is shown here approaching the water line ready for a big catch.  

With in a second, a fish is near.....

and bang, Mr. bittern has the catch 

Hummm, looks like a shiner minnow. That will go well in the sunshine. Yum, yum!  

Here's another friend nicknamed "Sandpiper". Oh, looks like he has something. Got to get a closer look.......

It's a crab! It's not bad to have crabs sometimes.......Looks delicious !

Not a bad five minutes of fishing.
