Trout fishing expedition

For a cool windy day in May, it was the perfect time to explore more of North Carolina. Particularly when there is Flyfishing involved, the crowds cooperated and the trout were hungry.  The sights were set on locations close to the Piedmont area.  Through google and other internet means, the logical location offered flyfishing next to a greenway….Ararat River on the downtown Mount Airy greenway.  An hour’s drive from the central Piedmont area of North Carolina.

The Trout trifecta was achieved as Brownie, Brookie and Bow were on the line before days end.

Robin nest

The birds are back after a long and somewhat colder than normal winter in NC.  When going to pressure wash the vinyl siding, one noticed the nest of Robin eggs and the attending parents.  Pressure washing was delayed in favor of watching the eggs progress into hatchlings and ultimately mature birds.

Within a day or two of the below snapshots, the birds had flown the nest.
