South Platte River- Sunday

Some images fit the day. Met this fine gentleman and his son out spending quality family time fishing

and bonding on the river. The morning was brisk, and the fishing was off to a slow start. All good things come to a man who is patient and smokes a pipe. 

A moment to warm up and talk strategy with dad. A couple to the hand with red 
zebra midges and small pheasant tails.

Giving Thanks

Thanksgiving gives me a time to reflect on all the big and small things I am very grateful for, I am very fortunate to be able to work hard, but spend the time with friends and family enjoying the efforts of our hard work.

Giving Thanks for the great family and friends Mary and I are surrounded by.

Giving Thanks to be able to visit the great waters of the west and fish with the many great friends we

have made over the years. Too catch the variety of fish. 

 Giving Thanks that we had 77 day of fishing this year, and most all with my lovely wife. There is no better way to have spent the time. 

Giving Thanks for some of the truly beautiful places, sights and things we get to see through the course of the year. I look forward to 2013 and the opportunities it will bring.

Spend the day with your family and enjoy, life is short................
