Soccer training cones work well for fly casting practice 😉

Spring break, kids are home, just relaxing doing nothing - I need to take my son for a soccer tryout 🙂

Darby Creek, PA

This pool is a locally popular spot for fishing, swimming, and picnicking. The fallen tree served as a support for a tire swing and a rope for jumping into the pool 😊

The recent heavy rain caused some changes in the creek landscape, including this bank erosion, causing the tree to fall into water. Yesterday, I was standing at the bank about 300 meters upstream of this pool - the bank collapsed and I got into water 😅

Red-winged blackbird - really hates me 🥲 He is staring at me in all snapshots from a short video I took yesterday 😓

Not sure what she is doing, but it was a pleasant walk around the Philadelphia Union stadium (Subaru Park) - no game no people 😉

Gulph Creek, PA
A tributary of the Schuylkill River

Checking some creeks before picking up my son at a soccer camp 😊
This stream runs through suburban woodland. I am sure this had trout a long time ago before development 🤔
The water is too warm to support trout, but looks beautiful, worth spending time walking along the creek while fly fishing – I need to find an area with public access 😉

I usually buy local beer 🍺 but this 👇
I never tied sculpins for my fly fishing, though 🤔 maybe someday 😊

The best thing about #RainyDay walks is not seeing any other humans around 👍

Groundhogs are always soothing to me 😊

Somewhat alerted by my presence, but still munching 🤔

Not sure about the definition of tropical flavors in beer. Papaya, mango etc… but I never felt those types of flavors 🤔

I think I prefer citrusy flavor than tropical (not sure what it is). But citrusy could be also tropical. I am not good at describing beer tastes and flavors. But I think I should eat something oily or greasy when I drink this IPA 🤔

Ithan Creek, PA

I love this small waterfall, about 5-foot tall. When the temperature is high, I see people bathing here 😊
So, first come, first served 😉
Last Thursday, I lost to several teenagers on a warm day, but I was the only one on Saturday because it was pretty cold 😊

The picture is from Saturday.

Water is spouting out of two tiny holes on a blue column in a gas station. An orange car is seen behind the column.

Muddy trail in the woods

Arriving at a local creek this evening, I discovered that I forgot fishing lines and also premade fishing rigs 😭 So, I just decided to take a walk in the woods 😊 I didn’t forget fishing waders, so, I had no problem walking such trails 😉 BTW, this is a designated trail, which I usually avoid because it very muddy and wet 😊

Wetland in the woods

Very humid evening with a lot of bugs flying around, but I like this place 😊 No fish, but a lot of frogs 😉

Hay Creek, PA

I did not see anybody on trails, but I saw some people fishing this creek during rain yesterday. I guess it was recently stocked with trout 🤔 Fishing was not my primary focus - I came here for walking in the woods although I had a fly rod with me 😉

A log boardwalk in the wetland

The trail was mostly muddy with a lot of water. I was wearing fishing waders, but the log footsteps in this section were still intact 😊

Yellow iris - invasive but beautiful in the wetland of the woods

Many trail sections are muddy and wet, but it's nice to discover these flowers in the middle of the wood - invasive species, though 🤔

My daughter made some jokes 😂
Mom, brother and herself got eggs on the toast, but dad got dried anchovies 😉 I am a pescatarian 🐟
This breakfast is actually nutritionally well balanced 😊

Baby Robins, almost ready to take off from our porch 🥳
Sorry, just one picture, and I won’t bother you anymore.
