I posted this photo to Facebook and didn’t even get a nibble, pun intended.
Personally, I like it. But maybe for most folks… too much mystery?
The photo was taken on the bank of R.D. Bailey Lake.
R.D. Bailey Lake
When the road above the lake was initially built, in some places, they had to blast through solid rock during construction. That process involves boring holes about 2 inches in diameter down into the bedrock in order to place the charges.
A pretty good size chunk of rock ended up down by the waters edge with two parts of the bore hole intact, a section above the water and another below the surface. In the photo, the fish is about an inch long and using the bottom section of the bore hole as refuge/sanctuary. Any fish that can get to him in there is most likely not a threat.
I guess I look into that hole and see more than a little fish. I see an instinct as old as time… survival.
