Look What I Found...

[ApS]

The present low lake level has exposed a wide band of colorful gravel, and some of it glitters...

The many yards of gravel has eventually been "wake-washed" across about six neighbors' shorelines.

Taking a break from woodpiles and putting things away, I sifted through many scoopfuls of gravel, hoping to find more shiny-gold lumps of gravel. But something unexpected limply washed into the scoop, so I lifted the scoop up.

An incredulous neighbor asked, "Is it alive?"
