The Farm, family & gratitude (find your quiet places when you can’t fish)

The Farm~Newberg, Oregon by G. Muncy

A day of ironies in several ways…a couple birthdays; the day my dad died; Spring was his favorite time of year because of the new beginnings; a granddaughter visiting the farm; the farm tired, old and still there; Emma the Lab running free from the constraints of urban life; a daughter finishing up highschool; a good day because we (23 of us) all were in harmony and thankful. 

Old But Faithful

A cool, breezy Spring day with places, for most of those so inclined, to escape the loud banter and din. If you let yourself, you can focus, regroup and gain clarity. The Farm has always offered that when I visit.

Damsel Fly ‘nymph’ de Argentina

Damsel Fly w/ Bead Chain Eyes de BrownTroutArgentina

Trucha Marrón a la Argentina, lo siento, pero su fotografía recortada. Espero que sea bien.

I like this pattern because of the Ostrich Herl tail (check out my The Orb Callibaetis Emerger too) and the dubbed sgraggily abdomen/thorax as well. This fly was shown along with an article about the Rio Grande de San Luis in the Valley of Pancanta. I mention this only in that if the pattern is fished in a stream the tumbling of the fly would be expected. I wonder if in a stillwater-lago if the bead chain eyes would cause the fly to flip over and ride point up? Not necessarily a bad thing….just wondering.
