Fisherman - Canon Rebel T3

Came across two men fly fishing on the St. Joseph River near Berrien Springs Mi.  I did not have their permission to photograph, but snagged the opportunity to get a candid shot without the person posing.  I have always had a keen interest in the sport of fly fishing.  Someone was going to teach me once, but I guess we never got around to it.

Beatiful ladies - Canon Rebel T3

Probably, no most definitely, my greatest accomplishment in this world, these three girls!  As they grow into fine young women, I am excited to learn what they learn, see what they see, and experience what they experience.  There is just something about seeing the joy and wonder in a child's eyes when they experience something for the first time.  I learn something new with them everyday!  I can't wait to show them the world!

Yesterday we celebrated my parents 50th anniversary.  There is something to be said for two people that decide to stick it out, even through the rough stuff, in this day and age.  I am proud to call them my parents, and proud of their accomplishments!
