Cattails

Artist's Puzzle

And one last picture from that beautiful lake . . . These cattails grew in one corner of the lake's marshy bank. They were ripe but not yet releasing their seeds. The sun seemed to make them shine too. I remember when I was little, we lived beside a stream that always had lots of cattails in the summer. It was so funny to take one in your hands and rub it til the seeds started coming off. I was always amazed at how such a little stick turned into so much fluff trailing out into the wind!
