Well I'm back to the burbs.
I needed to get away for various reasons.
I went north about an hour & half, Up to the old family farm.
I needed to get back to familiar surrounding's.
I hadn't been up there in awhile.
Well the fishing was reasonable, I've fished this lake my whole life and have seen the changes it's gone though.
Not only do I fish but this is also my duck hunting location,
bunny bang'in, deer and other outdoor things
(Morels in the early spring)
My "Home" away from "Home"
The last couple of years however I've been blessed.
The first morning out on the lake, as I was slowly fishing around the weed patches.
I heard the beautiful call of a Loon,
This is the second year I've heard this on the lake,
Last year being the first.
These are the only times I've ever heard these birds, on this lake,
In my life time!
As the sun continued to rise that morning,Not only was I blessed
with the sound of this bird.
I was shocked to see a pair!
again, this is a first on this lake...
And yet it gets better..
The pair have nested (somewhere) on lake and had in tow with them, a chick.
Sorry this isn't more about fishing, But as I was leaving the 'Farm'
It dawned on me,
how little I think of the simpler things in life.
I don't know what it is, about that long 'lonesome' call of a Loon
All I know is that it does something to me.
