| Outdoor subway station in the Bronx. |
The kids and I rode the subway to the end of the line last week, and then we walked for about five minutes until we reached the lake.
 |
| Bronx, not far from busy Broadway. |
The kids dug for worms, baited their hooks, and fished from the shore in the middle of a school day.
 |
| My son, ready for a nibble. |
A cormorant swam by, holding a fish in its mouth, before diving under the water in front of us. The bird was the only one to catch a fish that day.
After awhile, we headed home with muddy shoes.

I'm glad the kids bait their own hooks (and release their own fish, if they catch any) because I don't like that part of fishing. The parts I like are the waiting, watching, walking.
Amazing. What a breathtaking view. The picture with your son in it is simply a MASTERPIECE. Composition, depth, colors, atmosphere... everything is perfect and warm, and moving!
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking exactly what Silvia said about that picture!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you. I just like the waiting, watching and walking, too.
Admiration, Hope and Love,
Nancy
Silvia and Nancy, You have no way of knowing that your nice compliments on the photo were a spark I needed on a stressful day. Thank you!
ReplyDeletePam, I am not from NYC but I moved here 16 years ago from the midwest, and I think I'll always live here.
I am like Pam, I am a country girl. I love fishing, camping, & all that goes along with it. Strange thing though, I'm not a big fish eater.
