You are blessed to live where you are and you are blessed with knowing how to appreciate what you have around you. There are a lot of people that are blessed with the same good luck, but, they just cannot see it or recognize it and do not look for it. If there is water around you, you need to explore it. It will probably have fish of some sort in it and I know they can be caught on a fly rod. For some unknown reason, a lot of people feel a fly rod was built for trout only. They are missing out on a lot of fun. That same water, even if it does not hold trout, will still provide peace and quiet and a place to just get away from the world and provide some beautiful scenery.
By the way, those were beautiful pictures...

Fly fishing and fly tying are two things that I do, and when I am doing them, they are the only 2 things I think about. They clear my mind.
