Fall fishin'

first time fishing in the Loire

Standing in the cool water on a summer's day... does it get any better than this?

fishing in cool waters

We'll at last I'm back from a little vacation from ADP, and now the vacationing tourists have also returned to Amboise in a big way.  This is a three day weekend in France and folks have come to taste the wine at the wine fair, see the Château and Clos Lucé, canoe and kayak the Loire river, and of course do a little fishin'.  This fisherman has a great view of the interesting sand patterns left by the now long-gone high waters of spring.

I wonder if he was angling for a catfish.

a summer's day

It was one of those hot days during the last heat wave and I was out collecting photos for ADP.  Then down by the Loire I encountered this father and daughter making the best of it by doing a little fishing.

Today is the last day of the school year for French public school students.  So I imagine some of them will close their books and pull out their fishing gear.

It was one of those perfect days in Amboise, the first day of Fall.  I hope it is a predictor of what is to come.
