The first thing I bought after boot camp in 1982 was a Penn reel on a Shakespeare Ugly Stick. A good friend just went through the reel fixing it, as it has been broken for a while. My friend even loaded the spool with new 12 lb monofilament line. The old pole it was on is out in the garage, but it is worn out and falling apart. I can't wait to put this reel on a new pole and catch some fish with it this year. I'll be posting the fish pictures in this thread.

This is actually a shot my wife took, a double exposure the 1st of a abandoned 50's Plymouth 4-door in winter, the 2nd is of her sunflowers taken with a snowflake mask. I think it looks like a flaming car at 1st glance.

Halfway's picture above reminded me of this little nature drama we came across on a hike a couple years ago. I call this series of pictures "Ambition."

This is one I took at Arlington National Cemetery when I went to visit my Grandfather and two of my Army buddies. Maj. Cliff Patterson who was killed in the Pentagon on 9/11 after going back into the fire 2 times on the third attempt to rescue his fellow soldiers he was killed in the fire. The other is Lt. Col Kevin Shea who died in Iraq because he stayed past his return date to train the new officer and make sure the new unit was up to speed. Kevin died in an IED and was a great friend, soldier and a wonderful dad to two great little girls. My grandfather was a full bird Col that served in WWII and in Korea at Chosin reservoir. The Cemetery there is awe inspiring, the shear number of graves is over whelming and I try to go up there a couple times a year. God bless the volunteers that place these wreaths on every tombstone in the cemetery.
