CFFC: Catching People Unaware
This week Cee asks us to share photos of catching people unaware. These photos were taken from the Duke Kimbrell Trail of the Matthews-Belk South Fork River Corridor which is a part of the Carolina Thread Trail network of Greenways, trails, and blueways.
The people were enjoying a day on Lake Wylie with their families and friends. They were completely unaware that someone hiking along the was taking photos of their activities.
The young girls were enjoying Stand-up Paddle boarding on the waters of Lake Wylie as their family watched and gave any necessary advice and/or assistance.
As you can see one is having fun with stand-up paddle boarding and another chose to sit and kayak along through the water.
This activity may still be fairly new to them as it seemed they didn’t venture too far away their families Pontoon.
Coleman and I had fun to stopping along the trail to watch their activity. Coleman would probably have preferred to be in the water along with them.

This gorgeous wildflower is called grass pink
and it is in the Orchid family (Orchidaceae).
The genus name “Calopogon” is Greek
and means “beautiful beard.”
It refers to the hairlike structures
on the upper petal.
It has a bulb-like corm
that resembles a tuber,
hence the name “tuberosus.”
The slender grass-like leaves
give rise to the name “grass pink.”
It is a stunning wildflower.
