Fly fishing was my preferred route when I dabbled in it. I loved the skill required to tease a fish to come up and bite. Think I inherited it from my dad and granddad - and great granddads too.  |

Another catch. This Great Crested Grebe was too far away and had its back to me which made the failure to get a better picture rather galling. At least I didn't fall in. This was back in October 2012 in the park at Tervuren outside Brussels. I miss that place.  BV9R0035-Enhanced.jpg by Pete, on Flickr |

Once I get an idea in my head ... There is a gap of 127 in the frame count before this picture so unfortunately I've deleted the "fisher". A cormorant performed the catch and was promptly robbed. The cormorants were targeting eels but I guess that an eel doesn't count.  BV9R0122.jpg by Pete, on Flickr and having robbed it, hasn't a clue what to do. Too big to swallow.

I expect a sniggling cormorant would count. I had to look that up, new word for me, but I think cormorants do have other methods of catching eels. Speaking of eels, I discover they are classified as fish which allows me ..  BV9R0034.jpg by Pete, on Flickr |

I mean you can be fishing and catch nothing but an old shopping trolley... |

However I wanted to show the "fish". I've got a good one on film somewhere. I didn't notice when I took the picture [of a boat] but to the side of the image and in the deep shade of a willow tree a fisherman was holding a very large fish, salmon maybe. It was hard to see on the 6x4 print but wonders can be done with a scanned negative. Edit: PS thanks for the ideas on the weed id. I'll go back and get some better pictures. There are two different flowers. Pignut possible for one. |

Veiled In my old house, the best window was the one halfway up my stairs (a half-landing) where the window was the largest and the light was wonderful. I used to sit there quite often.  ap veiled obscured flowers by Kate Ferris, on Flickr |
