the lake.. a friend.. a sunrise.. and a follower

a mostly cloudy early morning.. hit the causeway for a so-so sunrise as the clouds lifted ...stopped at the lake..was about to 'wet a line'.. this lil' guy was of course waiting for me as he always does these days.. got him to smile for a quik-pic.. he wouldn't leave
UPDATE:  Arthur.. better known as Artie is still heading our way    Artie's Radar 

looks like it gets near us late Thursday afternoon
