Another Sunday treat of beautiful photos, but the Bulldog title “…..the fishing is fine” is questionable in this season of drought, high water temperatures and extremely low water levels.
Fisheries biologists, fishing guides and many fishing sports people in Maine are reporting dying fish and asking the public to curtail fishing.
Maybe taking wildlife photos can provide opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors!
The headline refers to the heron’s day at the pond. Nancy, thanks for the clarification.
Beautiful pictures, keep them coming, and please…..when it rains could you take some rainy pictures, I ‘ve almost forgotten what it looks like. Lol.
