As we rested with feet in the pond, Steve kept trying to identify the fish swimming in the shallows so that we could return with the proper lures. We had not come prepared to fish, only to scout a new possible location. I snapped a few fishy photos for him but then I got distracted by sunlight on water and other creatures by the shore.
You can read more about Spot Pond and other features of the Middlesex Fells here. I’m not sure if he and I will return to fish. You see, he actually likes to catch fish. I am more into the zen of fishing. We’ll see … 😉

I am thankful she has allowed me to post some of her photos on this site over the years. See for yourself …

I have to admit that before I picked up a camera, I did not fully appreciate the beauty of a fly and many other small creatures.
