Anticipation of Things to Come...
I know that spinner1 has helped us all along with his anticipation of opening day, and that Betty hiner has reminded us all of the dark side of the 'shack nasties', so I thought I'd do this once more in anticipation of warmer days and rising fish. Here are some photos that remind me of things to come. I thought maybe some of you would like to post some of those photos that warm the soul and help you get through the last remnants of winter.
It was zero degrees Farenheit as I left for work this morning. In Idaho Falls, ID it was minus 17 degrees with wind-chill. Despite the wonderful clear and sunny days we are still in winter's icy grip and I'm feeling a bit shut in and trapped. So, before the 'shack nasties' get me in their grip again, I thought I'd post a few pics of my favorite 'better-weather' haunts.
Hope you'll feel like sharing also...
