Trendsetters

In Montana, we’ve been maintaining a minimum of one-fishing-rod-length of social distancing even before it was “a thing.”

Taken By A Photograph Of You

By


A “plus” of the corona-quarantine is that we have been going through, and digitizing, stacks of photos that were taken “more-than-a-few” years ago. Marlene is not crazy about this photo, but it is one of my favorites. And, it reminds me of these Jackson Browne lyrics:

Looking through some photographs I found inside a drawer
I was taken by a photograph of you
There were one or two I know that you would have liked a little more
But they didn’t show your spirit quite as true

You were turning ’round to see who was behind you
And I took your childish laughter by surprise
And at the moment that my camera happened to find you
There was just a trace of sorrow in your eyes

I sure hope it wasn’t “sorrow in her eyes.” This was taken during our Honeymoon. ?

The Tax Bird Returneth

Four days late, but the “tax bird” returneth!

I can’t count the times I have been pulling my hair out, doing “enjoyable” last-minute tax stuff, then looking up and seeing this osprey’s first seasonal appearance. This is one punctual raptor.

Other than the tax part, I take it as a good omen (though maybe not so much from a trout’s perspective).
