Fishing moments...

There is just something VERY Special about Fishing to this ol' Outdoorsman from the rolling hills of Sudbury, turned Blogger. There is WAY more to Fishing than simply holding a fresh fish in your hand. There is certainly MORE to Fishing, than just eating some fish too. Just being THERE, like in the shot above, is where it's at, a lot of the times!

I just recently re-discovered this little blog I had started up over at Tripod, my favorite free servers, in January of this year. It still needs some work to get the photos to line up properly though. So anyway, I've decided to add it to my list of web-work, to try and keep up with, now that I've created it and found it again. :-)

So here's the link to take a peek at a very basic, bare bones, so far, blog. You could bookmark it too so that you can see the changes since you visited last. :-)

Scenic fishin' spot in Ottawa...

Aside from the terrific Sight Seeing opportunities in Ottawa, here's a few interesting spots to fish, if you live in the Ottawa area, or are just visiting, for that matter. If shoreline fishing is YOUR only option, like mine too, then here ya go. Check them out! These places can all be reached by bike or bus or even walked to, depending on where you are in town of course. :-)

Parliament Hill

The shoreline I was standing on to take this shot of the back-side of Parliament Hill, is pretty steep in places and you've got to watch your footing when stepping on the big rock chunks found along there. There is even an old sort of a rock stairs, kind of place, where I can't even imagine how many others have sat there before me. Picked up a nice little fossil sample down there too. Some kind of Kool, really Old centipede-y type critter. Bonus! :-)


The Chateau Laurier, Ottawa, Ontario

This picture of Ottawa's own Chateau Laurier, also depicts the first set of locks that takes boaters up to Dow's Lake, and beyond on the Rideau Canal system, to Kingston and the St. Lawrence Seaway and beyond.

The low-key part here folks, is that the ol' Wiley Walleyes, have been known to hang around those big doors fairly consistentlyover the last number of decades. I personally believe it has something to do with all of those minnows that get disoriented and confused when that Big rush of Fast water comes out of there and all...

Fishing the point...

A nice long rocky point, about anywhere You find one, like this one at Britannia, can at times, produce some good fishing, when the fishin' gods are willin' 'n stuff... :-)

Down by the river...

Next time You're down by a river, why not try actually getting even closer, so as to hear the Great Rivers song, like this. It talks to those who'll listen...

Sometimes, well o.k. then, lots of times, there's a lot more to fishing than just fishing, for me. Yup, sometimes it's also more like the sights and sounds, the Call of the Wild, if you will, that I'm after, out there, on the waterfront. Like this little photo perspective in here to-day, for instance. :-)

Here's a pretty little plant that was growing right on the edge, in and out of the water, down there, behind that very famous hill. Oh ya, I'm still checkin' to make sure but I think this sweety is a Smartweed of some sort.

Wild & Beautiful Plant on the Rocks...

Nature is all around us and all we have to do is Look, listen and learn... :-)

Digital limits?

This is more of an experiment than anything else. It's a photo of a photo. Well, actually a photo of a few photos. Shots that were taken over the years with different cameras, now shot together with a Digital camera.

Hmmm. I'm going to have to do some more of that sort of experimental thing. I used to try all kinds of stuff when I was shootin' 35mm format a few years back. I wonder how it would work with some of my older slides? I'll have to get back to you on that...

Spannin' the years...

As you can easily see here from this little display, Outdoorsy stuff was my main thing, even way back then...
