Year of the owl pellett, 20th edition


We did get some snow this morning. Dribs and drabs all day long with no accumulation. So, no great photos of the RW in snow but I did do a couple of miles in what turned out to be a bit of a cold morning of solitude. Nothing like Washington, DC though, those poor people certainly had no solitude and way too much adrenlin for normal folks.


My annual fishing trip to New Hampshire will be somewhere around the end of April and of course is one of the highlights of my year. The accompanying image was made one morning two years ago as I fished for landlock salmon. Lake Winnepasaukee is like this, early on most mornings, if the wind hasn't blown all night. If it blows all night, you can bet it will be a windy day. But in the flat and calm and you can even see the fish feeding on smelt, which is their forage fish of choice. Quite a wonderful place to be on a calm morning without pressures from the rest of life. I can also get that same feeling of solitude on the RW when the rest of the world is not there. Such was the walk this morning. No photos, no people, and lots of introspection. Gotta love it.
