Two weeks into running on these Brooks Pure Grit "minimalist" trail shoe and loving them. Light, lots of flex, grippy, and only 4mm heel-toe offset. Fun shoes that replace my Brooks Cascadia 3's, which were awesome, but long overdue for retirement.

Fun small surf after work on friday, although the water was brown from all the blown out rivers, after a week of rain. Watched this flock of late migrating geese fly low over us while we bobbed around catching some little fun ones.

Cleaning stinging nettles and watching Ryder Hesjedal win the Giro d’Italia....although that's not him in this shot.

Some mushrooms on a log. Not sure that you would want to eat these, but fun to look at.

A good day in May. Warm and summer like, but still May. Plenty on the go lately, including some tasty black morels, a couple more steelhead, and good times with family and friends.  hells yeah !

Beautiful, crisp saturday morning on the river yielded several gorgeous fish...some that had spawned, others fresh from the lake. just me and the water obsessed Boykin and spring steel...good times.

Finally took the Neilson Blunt out for a slide. Jetted down for an after work evening session of glassy spring waves. Perfect for the inaugural voyage. Surfed it in its quad form, even though it would have been fun to switch it up to the 8'' single fin. Floaty, responsive, wave magnet. Love it.

I'll admit i didn't spend very much time taking photo's. Hardly any actually. Pretty intent on being in the water. Some good friends, smiling faces and some fun waves.

I was out for a run the night of April 6th when i noticed the full moon just cresting the head of the sleeping giant. UNREAL!...I mean unreal. Of course i kicked it up about three notches and high tailed it for home to grab my camera and the tripod. Unfortunately i didn't run fast enough, as the moon had already made its way well enough up into the night sky that it didn't appear as amazingly huge as it had 20 minutes earlier. A couple snaps anyways.



Doing my rain dance tonight in hopes of some rain and that the rivers will once again flow like they shoudl in the month of April along the Superior northshore. No snaps of any of the chromers as of late, since they have all been caught on short solo missions where i have failed to swing the fish into where i had my pelican case tucked in on the bank.

However, here's a hefty walleye that we sampled, tagged and stuck a radio transmitter in, while at work today.

Some little critters i tied up earlier in the week. Bait fishy, swingable, strip-able, versatile.
