It's fishing time!

Look at that smile!!

She was soooo excited!

About two seconds after this pic was taken she yelled and the poor perch fell to the ground.

Doesn't she looked enthused with her bait, Nightcrawlers!

Another fish!

She was scared of this one too...she screamed shortly after this pic was taken.

Some of my scenery shots...notice the kayaker and a paddle boarder.

Beautiful fall colors!

Over our long weekend in Springfield we managed to squeeze in some fun fishing time one afternoon. The weather was so nice so how could we resist a day out enjoying some family time! Abby caught 3 fish and seemed to be having a fun time. But all of a sudden she seemed scared of holding her fish! What??? That's never happened before but she didn't even want to touch it. Silly girl! I did manage to get some good shots of her before she would yell and drop the poor perch.

This was our second visit to Lake Springfield and I must say, all the fall colors on the surrounding trees/shrubs was beautiful. I took some great "nature" photos as well. Don't worry, they won't be calling me for a job working for National Geographic but it was fun shooting the beautiful scenery.
