Moments

Feeling happy.
I walked up Magnolia Creek today
I caught fish, some good sized ones too
Used a woolly bugger
Fun to cast in tight little spots
Fun to try and use the wind
Judge the wind
Surprised by two of the 8" or so bluegill
They are really strong

Watched a couple howto videos
On making woolly buggers
Now that I've made my own flies
I soak in the little things
Like how they cut the tag end
How they spin the bobbin
How they tie off
What size hook
The more I do
The more I see

What I just wrote is like the image you see of Kaley
I also tried to capture some of my time with Kovi today on the blog

Things can stop

Like the fly whizzing through the air
And flipped to a parachute landing
On the surface of the water
Wings up

Still

Then wham
A flash of white
Off the belly of that fish
That I didn't catch
And still wonder what it was

It wasn't a fish

Sometimes I absorb things that way
Things are calm
Moments stop
I can see them vividly
I want to write them down
I want to capture them
I want to share them

I want to paint them

With brush strokes
Maybe like Van Gogh
