#ThursdayThoughts A young rabbit sitting in my backyard 😊 We don’t feed it, but it feels almost like our pet 🤔 I was within a yard of it for a few minutes, but my slightest movement sent it hopping away 😅 #Yard #Backyard #Rabbit #SmallAnimal #Photography

#MidweekMotivation Chester Creek, PA Preseason soccer training has started with my son’s new team 😊 While he was on the new field, I explored a nearby creek, realizing that I’ve been this exact spot before😮 Great that it’s only six minutes from the field 😉 #FlyFishing #Nature #Hiking #Photography

Furry and untamed beauty. Dosewallips Falls thunders, its raging cascade tearing through rugged rocks and hurtling toward the canyon below. May nature's mesmerizing forces cleanse our battered souls 🌿 #WaterfallWednesday #mobilephotography #OlympicNP

Cobbs Creek (Karakung), PA Within walking distance of my home, this section of the stream no longer holds trout, but it still supports a variety of minnows and sunfish species 😉 Brook trout once thrived here, before the area was developed🥲 #FlyFishing #Fishing #Nature #Hiking #Walking #Photography

#MondayMotivation Cobbs Creek (Karakung), PA One hour of fly fishing in the woods during the weekend wasn’t quite enough to get the week started 🤔 So I spent five minutes by this creek before picking up my daughter 😉 And it was a great five minutes 😊 #FlyFishing #Nature #Hiking #Photography

#FlyFishingFriday #FishingFriday Darby Creek, PA Fly fishing and beer don’t quite mix, but this pebble beach in the middle of the creek feels like the perfect spot for it 🤔 I still don’t know how to mix them, though 🤔 #FlyFishing #Fishing #Nature #Hiking #Walking #Forest #Beer #Photography

#WellnessWednesday #MidweekMotivation There is usually a “hidden” (well… not really) spot just about 100 yards from a popular one 😊 Just need to stretch a little to find a gem 🤔 #FlyFishing #Fishing #Nature #Hiking #Walking #Creek #Forest #ForestBathing #Science #Photography

#WaterfallWednesday #WellnessWednesday Ithan Creek, PA Not an easy spot, but I got a hit 😀 I think it was a pretty big one 😏 After about 10 seconds, it was gone 😭 The fish that gets away always feels like huge 🤔 #FlyFishing #Fishing #Nature #Hiking #Walking #Forest #ForestBathing #Photography

#ThickTrunkTuesday After the fish lingering near the trees ignored my flies, I walked under the bridge and took this photo 😉 It was my first time photographing the bridge from this downstream perspective🤔 #FlyFishing #Fishing #Nature #Hiking #Walking #Creek #Bridge #Tree #Photography

Trying to relax while my son is at soccer practice, but I keep hearing the splash of big fish rising nearby 🙃 I don’t know what they are, and I’m not even in the mood to fish, but something about it makes me feel like I should 🤔 #FlyFishing #Fishing #Nature #Hiking #Walking #Bridge #Photography

A large Smallmouth chased down and swallowed a Fallfish I caught on a tiny fly 😉 The Fallfish didn’t stay lodged in because there isn’t much structure in the Smallmouth to hold it tight 🤔 I couldn’t get the bass, the bass didn’t get the food 😭, hoping the Fallfish survives 🤔 #FlyFishing #Nature

Darby Creek, PA I had a couple of hours in the evening, so I visited my usual creek. I ran into my fishing buddy. We never plan to fish together, but when we meet, we always have a lot to catch up on😊 #FlyFishing #Fishing #Nature #Hiking #Walking #Creek #Photography

#ThursdayThoughts Delaware River, PA Next to the soccer field - probably no fishing here (combined sewer overflow) - not that I’d want to anyway☹️ Next season, my son chose a club that is a bit of a drive, so lots of road time ahead🤔 But it’s near some nice trout streams😉 #FlyFishing #Photography

#MidweekMotivation #WellnessWednesday Being mindful not to disturb fish nests (redds) while wading😉 Looks like rain throughout the week 🤔 Hoping for some sun by the weekend…otherwise, I’ll be walking in the rain (but not in the creek) 😊 #FlyFishing #Fishing #Nature #Hiking #Walking #Photography

#ThursdayThoughts Heading out to nearby creeks, I don’t say I’m going fishing. I say I’m going for a walk 😏 Feeling a bit guilty, like I’m sneaking off to enjoy myself. Saying I’m walking sounds like just trying to stay healthy 🤔 But they know I will be fishing😀 #FlyFishing #Walking #Photography

#ThursdayThoughts Little Darby Creek, PA This small tributary is stocked with trout, though the stocking points are located far upstream and downstream. Eventually, the smarter ones that evade predators (humans) begin to find their hiding spots😉 #FlyFishing #Nature #Hiking #Walking #Photography
