A baby buggy, rusted away to only the frame. It sits along the stream, perhaps thrown away by the family that lived here so many years ago.
The last few days have found me walking small streams, some familiar some some not. The familiar ones are old friends saying glad to see you back, while the new ones say welcome, soon to be new friends I'm sure.
Fishing is the main reason for being there but the observations made along the stream add so much more to the outing.
As I finish this piece, I'm going to enjoy a breakfast with Jeanette, then head out for Pennsylvania for my annual stay in Penns Woods.
The new stream. One would think to have many brookies, but none were to come to hand this day.
This old factory. How many craftsmen worked here. I wonder if they fished the stream that flows by the shop.
There were no brookies taken this day. But the stream gave up one of its residents. A handsome wild brown. To wonderful and crafty a brown to have fallen for such an ugly fly.
A beautiful day drawing to a close. A promise of a better one tomorrow.
Very nice...if it were only about the fishing I think we'd all be chucking hardware or live bait. More often than not it's the sights , sounds and even smells encountered during a day on the water that are worth remembering. Looks like you had a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteBrk Trt,
ReplyDeleteit sounds like a great way to spend some of these few remaining mild November days being along stream side.
Enjoy your breakfast with the Mrs. as well as your time spent in PA.
Good Stuff.....DRYFLYGUY
The pictures speak of solitude and restfulness.
ReplyDeleteLook at the tips on that little wild brown. Nice!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures Alan......be safe in PA and I look forward to your report.
ReplyDeleteA day of fishing is always a day of adventure. One of the things I always do when I'm fishing is walk the shore to see what I can find. Haven't found a baby buggy yet, but there is still time.

Beautiful pictures Brk Trt. Enjoy your trip!
ReplyDeleteLove the B&W pic of the old building...enjoy your trip!
ReplyDeleteNice write up on your outdoor journey...thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYes, the places we fish are our friends. I am also willing to bet some of those factory guys took long lunches fishing the river. Good luck in PA
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteIt's always fun meeting new friends, and comforting to catch up with old ones. Pretty looking brown.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos as always!
I'm sorry I have not responded to each one of your comments. I value each and every one. I'll get back to my normal routine soon.
ReplyDeleteThank you all.
I just started reading your blog. Great stuff!!
ReplyDeletetheflytrout,
ReplyDeleteThanks.
Welcome,I hope you'll visit and comment often.
Love the monochrome of the old "factory". Vernacular materials for old factories round here mean they are old stone buildings. Your timber buildings make great subject matter and your treatment brings out the textures nicely.
