View Aerial Shot of Lake

Just spent part of a beautiful afternoon bike riding up the Bethpage bicycle path. Lots of people were out due to the warm weather. Thee trees were budding, and there were hints of green creeping up from the natural compost. It was rather peaceful. I saw several people fishing in the lakes, either hanging off of bridges, or wading deep into the water. It just bothered me that for some people, in order to enjoy nature they have to hunt it. It’s not like the lakes here in Massapequa are bastions of aquatic life; they are surrounded by hundreds of square miles of suburban homes. I just don’t get some people’s need to fish in this tiny little pond. Why is it so hard for some to just sit and enjoy nature without seeing it as “sport”?
