Millers Beware!

The morning was fresh and there was the call of the wild.

The stream slithered through the meadow without a sound. Suddenly a ring appeared on a tranquil pond and as if by magic a rainbow flipped out spreading tiny clear droplets that sparkled in the morning sun.

I tried to tie on a #18 caddis, but opted for a #14. Double vision told me at least I had something tangible in my hand. All the while rainbows were dancing everywhere like kids on a trampoline.

My first cast was surprisingly perfect with no bushes or overhangs to thwart my efforts. I could see the water dimpling under the fly as it floated toward the spillway, but no offerings after the disturbances, so I wondered upstream. With the best of my ability I finally cast above a fair sized waterfall on a beaver dam. The fly tumbled down and settled in a whirlpool at the base of the fall and disappeared. My line grew tight and I knew I had something on the other end. I lifted the rod and the surge of weight that told me it wasn't just a snag.

My morning was fulfilled, my heart pounding as I gently released the precious creature to live on and touch the heart of another soul, such as mine.

Till next time Via Con Dias

The building reminds me of one I have seen in southwestern Colorado. If I ever get a minute I might be able to find a picture that I took last May when we came home from California so I can compare it.

We spent the whole week working in our daughter's new home and we'll spend the weekend moving them and their four little boys in. So, I promise I'll be back sometime next week with a guess. Have a good weekend, EM!

Hint...It's actually in north central Colorado

Lots of luck moving. I got a very cute email FWD from a friend that shows how to keep yourself in good health. I may add on of the pictures on my Photo page

I love the antelope picture! Did you hear that my daughter met a deer on the road last week? We are all really grateful that she and her family weren't hurt but the car was totaled.
