What a powerful reflection today. And this: “Thats the gift of nature, its intuitive uncomplicated subtext, the peace it brings with resolution, water flowing over rock cannot be denied.”💛

Beautiful, Apple. Although you captured it much better than I can, I thought I was the only one baking in the heat and yet constantly aware of the winter to come. I’ll hit you up on the “private” side!

I just read this with a soft, gentle sound on my Spotify, and it was magnificent, Apple. Sometimes it really feels like the atmosphere sings, sending us both comfort and warnings. xx.

I know what you mean about the compulsion to post, to share your own voice. Thanks for sharing yours! Also, did you make those flies?

my buddy tied them and sent me those last summer and uses them on a particular penn. spring creek...30 years ago with a little better eyesite if not any more patience i tied larger flies once from the fur of my dog

and caught trout with them 🤣🤣

bigger flies easier to mess with on vice

everything is practice i guess
