We took a trip with friends to Briery Creek Reservoir to fish. We had a great fishing trip, but I also got some great shots with the camera, that really worked out well for me. One was later used in an AD by Werner paddles. They loved the composition and my write up when I thanked them in a letter for the quality of their product. I wasn't seeking anything, just letting them know we had been using the equipment for years, and would continue to do so for years to come.
I LOVE the backlit paddle blades in this pic, the way Miss Tina is silhouetted by the setting sun, and the "end of the day" mood the picture expresses. No words are needed. It bookends the other pic, which I put at the start of a small album we gave to friends that were on the trip, which started the morning... of our buddy Mike appearing out of the fog with a cast, THAT resulted in an explosive strike and a hook up on a nice bass. Great way to start the fishing trip for all of us.
The morning fog was gone in an hour or so, but paddling thru the fog was cool, as were the morning temps. By noon it was in the nineties and climbing. VA weather, gotta love it.
This last two were in the album as a joke, but they turned out to be favorites.
"Excuse me Sir, I seem to have lost my way, can you direct me to the boat ramp?"
"Why certainly my good man, it's that way. Take a sharp left by the dead fall. You can't miss it."
Spring has sprung. Get out and shoot your Henry

You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.

Awesome pics. The mist on the water takes me back to fishing with my dad when I was a kid. Old cedar strip boat with an 18 hp Evinrude on it. Trolling in the mist. Thanks for the memory.
