Eric I love the photos, leave it up, some people try to read derision into everything. Referring to a bait chucker is no worse than referring to worm drowner's or fly flingers.

Man! Amy has left me wondering where that stream is and how I can get there. Her deftness with the Camera and her eye for beauty leave me in total admiration. But I am wondering how on earth anyone so talented would take along someone so inept that they left the paddles and life jackets at home. Not naming any names. You know who you are.
Imagine the beautiful shots she could have made from water level if this person had only done his/her job, the mind boggles.
PS is it just me or did anyone else notice that there seems to be several spots in that stream that beg for a fly.
I am a bait chucker, a fly flinger, and it is not unknown for me to drag a bit of flashy tin behind my boat either, I look upon it all as a natural evolution in the sport of fishing.
Folks,
Right now Amy is grinning from ear to ear! She is happy that you all enjoyed her photos and wants you all to feel free to use them anyway you want to.
I got told about how good the picture of the painted turtles lined up on a log floating in the lake would have turned out if "Someone" would have remembered the paddles so we could use the canoe to get real close.:oops:
I got the feeling that at that moment there may have been the desire to paddle something other than the canoe.:shock::lol:
Amy's camera is a Cannon Power Shot A530. She has actually had the camera for a few years now but her brush with cancer last fall changed her outlook on life. That camera has special meaning to me. Harrold Hattaway helped me pick out that camera for her. For those that never got to meet Harrold he was the most wonderful man here on our web site. Cancer took Harrold from our physical world but now power of any kind could ever remove Harrold from our hearts.
I am so proud of Amy! I know Harrold and her mom are smiling down on her right now. Thank you all for the kind words and encouragement.
Oh, by the way, we live 15 miles from that stream and lake in Little Buffalo State Park. Here is a link to the park:

Great thing about the park is that admission, except to the pool, is free. Also we have a wonderful pool and that protects the lake from damage caused by beach sand and swimming activities. The lake is electric motors only and it's base is limestone shale. Very soft water, creek and spring fed, moderate temperatures through the summer and gets gin clear after a while. A great warm water and cold water species fishery!
Nighthawk, I din't mean to offend you on this post. I guess, I had just read too many post by some fly fisherman that were against other fisherman. I see that you don't fall into that category. Sorry if I was a little sensitive to that situation.
My wife does photography on an amateur level. She has even taken pictures for a couple of weddings in the past. We bought both of our son's the A530 and it recieved some very good reviews on consumer reports. I hope your daughter continues to like hers as much as my son's like theirs.

FANTASTIC PHOTOS keep up with the natural ability just great work and potential
I don't know if you folks can tell from the photo of that flower, but I seen some yellow ones like it, and if you look reel close, (its alot easier to see in reel life) the center of it looks just like some kind of beetle bug, I don't know if this is natures way of atrracting birds for some sort of reason or not. I would not have caught it if I hadn't seen them up close in reel life...:) Cool pic, I put it on my desk top for right now...:)
