Must be some serious halibut fishing when you have to wear hunters orange and a hard hat.  Even a radio so you can call the Gordon's fisherman and tell him to kiss your butt!
He asked, Do you ever give a short simple answer?  I replied, "Nope."

Only 2 defining forces sacrificed themselves for you:
The American Soldier and Jesus Christ. One died for your freedom, the other for your soul.

My rock,
He trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle.

Fresh trout over the campfire. Mmmm...

Sons are a heritage from the LORD, children a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one's youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their enemies in the gate. - Psalm 127:3-5

I didn't want to offend anyone and will send the prize to one of the guys in the photo if my photo happened to win. Unfortunately I do need to upgrade my camera so I get better quality photos. Mostly it's just fun entering the diffferent contests. :tup:

dip,
That's a great photo! Thanks for posting it. :) Sadly, it will not be eligible for the contest because this month is Turkeys or Fishing. Please feel free to submit it at a later date when it fits the Contest Subject Matter.

Bantams,
I apologize for my mistake of closing the contest early! I screwed up on the date due to a lot of things on my mind. I am going to insert your photo into the contest in hopes that everyone will understand. That way you will have a chance to win.

This is Bantams Entry into the contest that I mistakenly closed early:

I was hoping I would be able to submit this photo, but I see now the contest is closed. 
Anyway, here's a Rio Grande hen I photographed this spring in Hawaii. 


I felt that it was my mistake, so we should be fair and let it be entered!
