This one makes me want to go fishing, I can't wait for all of this ice to melt off of the lakes.

One of my mother's favourite photos was one I took of my father fishing at Yellowstone, remarkably similar to your photo. Nice job, Jan! Aloha! Rico

Loved your tableau. Night fishing can be fun. In April when the wind gets low and warmth abounds, you'll see a lot of them.

The lone fisherman, even without the picture I could have seen him from your descriptive verse, best wishes for a win :)

Ah, you capture this moment with exquisite poetic precision, Jan. I admire the quiet imagery of the angler as the nocturnal natural world comes alive between the lines. Best wishes for a win and warmest wishes for you, my friend.. ~Susan
