Freddy N on fishing

Mr. Nietzsche, at left, reminds us:
"When you stare into a fish,
the fish also stares into you."

Serious instruction

Mr. Arms Akimbo seems very intent on Junior’s progress. His eyes are hard. I can feel the tension. So can Junior.

Chained

It's a beautiful lake setting and the father/son duo (assumption) each have a lot of character. It appears the son is being given instructions. It is not surprising that the father has a watch chain attached to his suspenders, feeding down into his pants pocket. But the son is also wearing a chain, going from the strap on his overalls, down into his back pocket. Must be carrying something important.
