The fish rise at dusk Kissing shadows as they feed Ripples on the pond

When fishermen see "ripples" of baitfish in the water, they know they've found a good place to catch their dinner. And there is much truth to fish "rising at dusk." That's when we catch the best grouper! Beautiful, serene poem, Barbara. Thank you for gracing us with this lovely image. And you have mail, LNC. Love, Carolyn
