This afternoon, we headed out for a walk along the Platte River. Soon after arriving at the car park, we joined the trail. We found this fisherman sitting, fishing on the rocks out in the middle of the river. The river was flowing slowly, so there were some great reflections of the fisherman in the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within a minute or so, he called “I caught a bass!”. Our fisherman said, “Take my picture with the fish”. He said that the fish was a small-mouth bass, which are common when there are no carp in the river.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As he continued to fish, and we continued our walk, I made this image of his reflection in the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The skies had clouded over during the course of the afternoon, but I found a small patch of blue skies with clouds and some contrails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We passed by a sunflower plant that had several flowers. In this image, I managed to capture the front and back of two flowers. This is not the same species that I shot a few weeks ago — these are just two or three inches in diameter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turning back at this point, we passed by the Smash*It Breakroom again, The red door and trim caught my attention. This time, there there was a bike parked outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further down the trail, we passed by a biker who was inspecting his bike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made several images, but this was the best of the bunch. Then it was back to home to get a bite to eat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
