I was just too busy today to take photos.
But I did just now!

I built a backlog of REAL Cognitive Decline posts.
First one here. Not to inject politics (the hell I don't) but it's computer "art".

One of those really busy days.

I used artificial light, so the colors vary as I fiddled with the color balance.
Natural light is better, but not available tonight.
Forgot the "names" of two of them.


Gray Ghost, monthly contest winner at the fly fishing club.
I used imitation jungle cock eye, being kind to jungle cocks.








This one for sure is a Royal Coachman.

I bend the barb down on all hooks. More for me than the fish.
Much easier to remove, from me.

4. Ahhhhh.......

Would love to be cantering across that field, with the scent of the evergreens, background of the mountains, stopping to let my horse drink at the stream. My idea of heaven.

Thanks!

6. LOVE those magnificent trees!

There’s no such thing as too many trees.

7. Trees are a precious resource there.

A couple of years prior, there was a devastating fire at the park, thanks to the idiocy of PP&L. It was known as the Dixie Fire. Still, most of the highlights of the park were undamaged. Across the road from Kings Creek, there was a lot of devastation from the fire.
