Today I was wanting to post a blog...an update or something like that, but I realized I haven't really pulled out my camera lately. Sometimes I don't get the desire to take pictures for a while, instead I feel more like looking back at other pictures and reflecting on them.
So, I went looking through my photos and remembered I trip I took in early September with three lovely women from camp. While the explore students were in the backcountry on the Montana/Idaho State line trail, we decided to spend the weekend out in the same area.
The trip was to be a hike back to some lakes where we could relax. Trina, being hardcore (she really is), carried her fishing pole and a two-person raft in along with all of her other gear. One afternoon I went out with fishing on the lake. I rowed around while she fished. It was a beautiful and sunny day on a quiet lake up in the mountains.

| This is a really fun shot of the fish coming out of the water! |

| The colors and patterns on the fish were so vibrant and beautiful |

I nearly forgot, it was on this trip that I discovered I have a knack for catching grasshoppers to use for live bait. I chuckle as I ponder these pictures, you would maybe suppose that with all the fishing pictures I have put up that I would love fish. But, growing up I hated...I mean despised the days we would eat fish. Now I have come to think it is all right, but the idea of eating fish and liking it is still relatively new!
