Fish, Fish, and More

ellenparkerwrites

Be sure to bring your fishing gear for a stay at Missouri’s Montauk State Park. Site of a trout fishery and the spring fed Current River.

With frequent released of young trout in the spring and summer, the fishing is excellent. Follow the rules, clean your catch, and enjoy fresh fish by the campfire.

During non-fishing hours, or after you’ve caught your limit, enjoy a visit to the mill or a hike in the woods.

Before the leaves were full, Serena in Morning Tryst photographed a spring sunrise from this vantage point. Plus another siting farther up the trail. Check out the sweet romance for details. https://amzn.to/35gH37S

A New Day

ellenparkerwrites

At sunrise, the world displays a moment of hope and promise.

My normal, daily routine does not include taking fifteen or twenty minutes to appreciate dawn.

On the occasions when I make the effort, the reward is worth more than the time.

The sunrise above, taken from a St. Louis County Park with a view of the Mississippi River does not show the early morning birdsong. Or the deer rather startled to find a human at this hour.

Hope and promise. Fictional photographer Serena Carter is onto something. At dawn, the day is not marred by petty arguments with another human. Or frustration with mechanical or electronic gadgets.

No matter if your view is city skyline, rural fields, or majestic mountain — the world appears to pause in anticipation of what the new day will bring.

Have you paused to watch sunrise recently? Where?
