While driving down an East Texas country road I spotted this scene. The autumn trees and the late afternoon sun made these golden bales of hay shine just a little bit more. Fortunately I had my camera with me. (c) James Q. Eddy Jr.

A man and his daughter find remains of a ship that ran aground over 150 years ago

LEILA FADEL, HOST:

Good morning, I'm Leila Fadel. Have you ever searched for mysteries below the waves, sea creatures, a shipwreck? Well, a father and his 6-year-old daughter in Wisconsin discovered a piece of history during a fishing trip on Lake Michigan. They thought their sonar had found an octopus. Archaeologists say they actually pinged the remains of a sailing ship that ran aground during a deadly fire. The crew was rescued. Their abandoned relic would be found 150 years later.
