An Idaho Face

Sylvan.  Immigrant Worker.  Picabo, Idaho

While Sylvan's eyes told one story, his hands told another...

A sincere look.  Looking for work.

Sylvan was kind enough to let me take a few images of him.

Fly Fishing Photography

 

Above is a 5 frame sequence of a rainbow and a fisherman.  Idaho.

 

This has been the strangest September to date for me.  Summer weather has persisted through today and that is all supposed to end tomorrow.  Fall colors have started the brilliant domino effect from higher elevation to lower.  It's windy now as our cold front pushes in.  Gusts tomorrow are supposed to hit 21 mph.  We'll see.  In Mackay today, the winds starting this afternoon, were consistent at at least 20 mph.

Silver Creek

East Oxbow.  Silver Creek, Idaho

The above image is a five frame pano.  We are still holding on to Summer weather here with one more day forecast with highs in the 70's.  By Wednesday, the forecast high is in the mid-50's and Fall will finally have arrived...

Silver Creek

Brown Trout.  Silver Creek, Idaho

The above brown was caught today by eating a 10" Rainbow that had eaten a #24 Trico Spinner on 6.5X Tippet.  Two large browns fought over the smaller rainbow and eventually both of the big browns were hooked simulataneously.  That's right.  Two browns the size of the brown above were on at the same time and eventually one got off and this one was landed.  The bigger fish got off and took the rainbow but this fish somehow became hooked in the melee.  The second best part of these brown trout images are the blue skies!

New York City Marathon

My wife, Diana, will be running the New York City marathon this fall to raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team in Training in honor of her mom, Abby, who is a leukemia survivor and for all of the other families who have faced a similar diagnosis. This will be Diana's third fundraising effort for Team in Training--to date she has helped raise over $12,000 to fund the critical cancer research and support services that the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society makes possible. It's a cause that's important to our family, and I hope you'll take a minute to check out Diana's fundraising page (http://pages.teamintraining.org/vtnt/nyc12/dbprice#home).


And one more reason to check out her page and donate: She is only $700 from her goal of $6,500.  Help her make it happen!
