flat fish

I had a sucessfull fishing trip the other day... I caught my fist 'keeper' fish, a flounder. The fish has eyes on the top of the head and blends perfectly with the bottom of the river. After learning to fillet the fish, it tasted wonderful!

catching views and possums

I have been fishing some more, catching only views. Its January in Florida, and you can still see GREEN. (as apposed to snow, ice, white and gray). The tiny white spot in the water under the middle tree is a pelican. The pelicans fly great, but do a nose-plant to land. (its funny to watch.) The raccon trap caught a possum this morning.

first fish, weaving ribbon birds

I have been weaving ribbon birds lately. I am hoping to get enough done for the weaving guilds sale table in November. The ribbon is 2/3" wide and the peices I use are between 10 and 12 inches long.

My other new activity is fishing, not catching. Good way to look at sceenery, watch the birds, and get some sun and fresh air. I did manage to catch one small fish. The knife is about 6" or so long. Its a small fish, and I tossed it back after taking the picture and removing the hook.
