That plunge pool looks promising.
I just sit and watch the shadows lengthen.

Thank you Barry and Diane.
Pompano used to create a fall thread every year. I've missed it's absence recently and decided to add these.
Sept - Oct is my favorite time to be up there.

Great photos. There is life outside Baja 
I'm glad we have the ability to post non-Baja photos. I've really enjoyed seeing them.

Great scenes of the south fork in a beautiful part of California, Igor! Simple and elegant..the way it was meant to be. Those browns are just icing
on the cake.
Meet me this next spring/summer Up North. Bring Alex. We'll share some adventures on the Hanson Lake Road, Yukon Trail...and other fishy places!
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

The cape is too much. 
My wife says she wore out many a tee shirt safety pinning towels and sheets to them so they could have a cape. The teen years can be tough, but that
too, will pass.

Those were great... thanks for sharing. They are gone too quickly with lives of their own. Your images captured some fine memories. Good job!

Igor,
What great memories you have captured there. I hope you have a backup/storage system for your photos. Losing shots like these would be painful.

Aw Igor - you've got me all choked up with those pix of Alex. Over the years it's been so fun to watch Nomad children grow - and your boy with his
love of the outdoors and fishing is one of my favorites.
A few days ago I was in Bishop and had the opportunity to again visit Barbara and Galen Rowell's Mountain Light Gallery. That all-natural
warm-yet-bright light which shines beneath and through your Stanislaus shots reminds me of Rowell's work. Mountain Light.... unlike any other. Darn
good job, amigo!

I have something to say on this subject.
1) First of all I have come to realize that images change their value over time in an unpredictable way. Snapshots I used to dismiss and throw away
have become imeasurably more valuable than I could have imagined. Many of them were photographic zeros. Blurred images with some bright object in the
center. On the other hand, the nature shots I prized all these years have dropped in overall importance, especially as the digital world has made them
more obsolete. Go figure. I've been reappraising my value system.
2) There are so many past images that at some point in time you realize that as you sort through your past you are losing your present. Life moves on
and grabbing a hold of it with an image is satisfying but also futile. I have black and whites from my parents in the 30's that need to be sorted,
which is also on the back burner. I don't like to throw away images and I like it all to be organized but at some point in time you just have to left
go.
