We live on the Bay of Green Bay here in Wisconsin and every year we are able to watch several families of geese raise their young. It is rather amazing to see the progression of the lessons taught and learned. Of course the little pond I depicted here is not the Bay of Green Bay.
"Brule River" Trout season is almost here and that means it is time to get the gear ready - like I haven't been doing that all winter. I think my fishing tackle gets more wear from me arranging and rearranging it all winter than it gets from actual fishing. This is a favorite spot-both for fishing and for camping.
I'm an old fart (pardon me, senior citizen) who spends most of the time painting or trout fishing. Trout fishing takes me into some beautiful places, especially here in northeast Wisconsin, and I often think that next time I'll bring my paints and leave the fly rod at home, but then I realize I can paint at home but I can't catch trout there.
