Went Fishing


All day on the roof, putting on shingles is tough work. I am certianly glad I don't do that for a living. As the three of us finished, I decided we needed to go fishing. I did not enjoy shingles, but I did enjoy my fishing trip down the street to our local fishing hole. Here are some pictures of the bigger of the 5 Bass I caught. It was a good day.

Felt like drawing a fish, so I did.



I love moleskine, I love drawing, I love Trout, So I drew one. I have been really missing doing art since I quit teaching it at the High School. I am thinking about starting to draw some fish. Not just because I like fish, but because I want too. Teaching Art all day does not make me want to come home and draw. I see so many artist's on my favorite sites, troutunderground, and midcurrent, that it has inspired me to get my art going. Its nice to want to create for the joy of it again. I would love to sell a piece or two as well. I have stolen and idea of drawing some catch and release photos, I am going to give it a shot with a bass I recently caught. Not because I am a big fan of bass but that I took it with my really nice camera. Speaking of really nice camera, this drawing was taken with an iphone camera, not a really nice camera. So send me a great shot of your fish, and let me get some interest, maybe I will do good enough to make a few bucks. With a dream of a booth at the Fly fishing Show, in Charlotte one day. I am a long way from putting up 650.00 to not get any of it back yet though. Here is some more of my work if you are interested.

Gardening

So I have atempted gardening this summer for the 3 rd time. With the drought it has been hard but apparently Jessie and I know how to grow cucumbers well. This is a pile that I pull off about every two days. Can I make fuel from cucumbers because I would have enough to supply the state of NC I think. If anyone wants any cucumbers I only have about 4 bag fulls left in the fridge.

Turtle Back Falls, Yet another gift that NC has given us. In the western end of Jackson County. Great place to go with the heat like it has been, I am headed up on Thursday for a little dip. Grab your friends, kids and road trip for the day..its worth it. There is more falls and great hiking all over the place once you get there. Let me know if you check it out.
