What the heck

Getting ready for some morning fishing time

On one of my walks at Dixon Reservoir I noticed this man just getting started with some fishing. The rising sun offered me a wonderful silhouette so I paused, took a deep breath, composed, took five images. Probably three too many but what the heck. For me the mood of this image tells a story about this man’s love for fishing.

My bicycle ride to and from Mugs coffee shop takes me across the campus of Colorado State University. I was surprised this morning at the number of parents dropping off students at dorms. I’ll guess 90% were wearing masks but I imagine that will change when mom leaves. It also brought more awareness of the vast differences we have in our attitudes towards this pandemic. What the heck, maybe these freshman need to become fishermen, standing six feet a part. Yes, I know, I’m thinking out loud again.

Retired. Having fun shooting Fujifilm cameras. Journal daily. Meditate daily. Learning haiku. Have a love for fountain pens.

    UNC Chapel Hill was open for just over a week before they had to send everyone home. I don’t know what “they” expected. These kids are the worst when it comes to responsible behavior, and throwing them back into the college environment just creates a mess. Distance learning isn’t great, but getting all those kids exposed and sending them back home isn’t a great solution either!

    Great photo – really captures the magic of the morning!
