very nice Paul. A wonder of photography. I just purchased a Olympus Stylus, hopefully in a few years i can take shots like you do

Thanks Bill. If the pictures come out good it is the camera that gets the credit, and it isn't a very fancy camera. I carry it with me all the time for the last few years as you never know what you are going to see as fishing puts you in some very beautiful settings. I really like the light very early in the morning. I have to take it with me more on the canal as I usually don't as I am afraid I am going to break it.

The places I fish require long casts; pics of "state of the art" equipment:

A few more for Jenn

Clematis. Always have had good luck with these

Few more.

The last picture is of a tree. This tree was taken from one of the mansions in Newport. As I took my annual stroll of the grounds in awe of the giant mature specimens of trees they have I took this coffee cup size tree from under its mother. I dug up gently and put in coffee cup. I then planted in one of my nursery beds I keep for small stuff for a few years and eventually put it where I wanted it. I am pretty sure it is some kind of special beech and will reach maturity hopefully, long after I am gone. It is a beautiful tree and probably not one you would find very often.

ahh the tree of life. Brought my son there a few months ago.

Nice looking reel,but WTF is it?I've never seen small guides on a spinner before.

All very nice! Ahh,who would have thought I would be getting my botanical fix on S-B!

my latest favorites from the woods & hills....

beautiful pics. I used to spend many hours up in the Newfound Lake area of NH. I have not been back in that area in a decade or more. I need to get up to the woods sometime to take in that tranquility first hand.

yeah especially if there's loons at night ;o)
 

i'll have to set up my big ladder to cut this weed i just noticed

:doh:

not a great pic but the content is worth it! And just for the record the "pole" in the picture is really my truck antenna,,,,,I was NOT standing in the middle of the street with a fishing pole watching the bear! LOL

Bear Fishing...? NICE!
 

what Pound test were ya using....

Braid or Power pro?

nice pic

I'd be more concerned with that huge arrow someone drew on the side of your house than the weed!

LOL...neither....I am waiting for it to find the striper remains buried in my compost pile :doh: that was NOT agood idea in hindsight....


I was looking over my shoulder a LOT this morning while I was doing yard work! The pic was taken just down the street from me. Yesterday the bear made the news when he showed up at a nearby school....

maybe
 

Larry can make you a Salmon Plug... :think:

Thanks P.
Here's one of my 2 fishing buddies. :D

They must take after Grandma because they don't look like Don Imus.

Great shots and smiles Dave. I hope you have been enjoying the summer down there, bet it has been even hotter than up here. If you get up here to your special spots this fall give me a call. P.
