Signs of Spring...Minnow catching...


...we had a lovely Spring weekend with some clouds and rain...but lovely still...

...Scout wanted to go to his favorite pond and catch some minnows...

...so he put out his trap...

...beside the dam...yes the runoff/snowmelt is rushing over the little dam...

...Scout sees some minnows from the bridge...

...I don't see any...

...'there they are' he says...

...but still I don't see any...

...but he reaches in and catches them with his hands...reminding me of the little salamanders we used to catch in the river behind the Church when we were little...

...remember - we are entirely a catch/identify/release facility...
