Have You Ever "Wondered"

Why a perfect evergreen tree was cut....perhaps a family Christmas tree, or....



A trail you pass as you walk to a stream, where does it go?


Brilliant green in the middle of winter....the colder it is the more vibrant the green.


Why is the section of a thin blue line you want to fish at the top of a mountain?


Why does nature put forth her most spectacular places for the brook trout?


At where does a colored Autumn leaf find it's final destination?


Why in the 21st century do we still see this?


Why is there hope where these miraculous beautiful creatures are found? I know.

  1. Great pictures Alan. Well maybe except for the the Blue Moon bottle, but it highlights a point. We mainly get styrofoam worm containers here.

    Love that Royal Squirrel Tail. I should do more tying.

      Thanks
      Bill what bugs me is that the item weighed more coming in than it does empty, so it is lighter and should be carried out. Foam containers, foam cups and plastic balloons are also where they shouldn't be.
      Those squirrel winged streamers are brookie catchers.

    Fishing places that have such beauty makes it even more special to land those gorgeous brook trout you pursue. Thanks for sharing

  4. All the time. Most of my wandering days are over. Not a good idea to venture out when you're (and I'm mostly) fishing alone. The Blue Moon bottle, well, most fisherpersons I know don't litter and most take out more than they brought in. Unfortunately the pigs are still around. If we didn't wonder, I think we'd be less human.

      Mark you have made a good point about wandering alone. I now my limits and if in doubt I turn around and move to safer surroundings. I do carry a cell phone now.

  7. You spend time in beautiful surroundings in search of the wild fish, Alan. Those are great photos which I surely appreciate looking at this time of year.

      Sam I really love spending time where I'm not the main thing.
      The next couple of months are on the bleak side, so I'll try to brighten them a bit.

  8. I have wondered about some of those things and I have wonder about other things as well while fishing. Now I have new things to wonder about. Thanks for sharing another thought provoking post!

      I believe that wondering about things helps to make us better people.
      Perhaps this blog can change a few peoples thoughts about just how beautiful the natural world is...especially without litter.

  9. Alan, I love the autumn leaf photograph and that is some spectacular scenery. A proper pleasure from all angles, well apart from the litter. Regards, John

      John newly dropped autumn leaves in the water are brilliant, and when the sun shines on them it's all the better. The litter is not fitting in nature.

  10. Many trails in the woods lead to and from places that deer and Native Americans want to go.
