Tossing A Line

This fisherman was casting what turned out to be his last line of the day into Sahuarita Lake. I was quite a distance away from him, trying not to draw attention to myself, but he saw me point the camera in his direction.  It seemed he really didn't want any part of having his photo taken.

I asked him, as he was walking away, if he caught anything that day.  He told me he got only one fish the whole time he was out there.  He had a crestfallen tone in his voice.  I'm sure, though, that on the next warm, sunny day he will be right back out here, casting his line, in the peacefulness that surrounds the fisherman.
