There’s a photo album in my head where I squirre

There’s a photo album in my head where I squirrel away images that I think are painterly. If YOU took the photo I will someday track you down and ask for permission to use it as reference for a painting. If SUE took the photo, it’s bonus points for the painting, the connection, the memory. We’ve had two great summers of fishing with forever friends in a remote area of NW Montana at Spotted Bear Ranch. Their son guides there, one of a kind special. It’s 50 miles down a dirt road that runs along the edge of the Bob Marshall Wilderness. Power is turned off after dinner and drinks, battery lanterns are turned on if you can stay awake. Beautiful, bountiful fish on a fly, all the day long. This was 2018, three Deatons in a boat, right after a shady spot picnic on the South Fork of the Flathead River.⁠

Dear trout - thank you for being unpredictable yet

Dear trout - thank you for being unpredictable yet unchanging. Fishermen all have their favorite ways of loving you. For some it’s the quest of uncrowded pristine water. For others it’s the gear, or the art of tying the fly, or the rising and bang of the bite. For me there are two main moments. ONE. When I read the water and cast like a river runs through it and the fly lands right where it’s supposed to and sits up all pretty like and then settles in for a long delicious drift. And TWO. After the fish is on and I’m almost into my leader, there’s the moment of getting the first good look. Will I release him, easy, or maybe with the flick of some pliers? Or will it be GET THE NET!? Either way, I love looking up close at your colors and flecks and spots of shininess. And then slipstreaming you safely back into your watery world. Thanks for the memories. Love, Sue⁠

If I were a dog, avid to hunt⁠
And wild birds were scarce as they say⁠
I wouldn't mind if you missed a few⁠
And saved some for another day⁠

Jumped on the #socialchallenge wagon. For me it had to be my dog paintings. What does it say about a person who could only find one relevant image for LinkedIn... but had so many choices for Tinder it was hard to pick just one? Who knew dogs were so sexy?
