Mandy pulled out her fishing pole and I followed taking photo. I used to fish , and I think I am inspired to get another pole and start again. Mostly just to have an excuse to walk along the river.  Well also I might just catch some fish! the Poudre River and a ponderosa pine.

Mandy caught about 8 fish, 6 were too small and went back into the river. The evening was lovely. I took too many photos.
