Pictures with new toy...

[Dark Cloud]

The girlfriend got me a new digital for christmas. I tend to be rough and wet with things so she surprised me with an Olympus 790 waterproof/shockproof. This thing is sweet, iv'e been playing with diff setting for diff situations and what a differance it makes. Nice and small and very easy to use I might add also...

Close up of a nice bluegill, the macro setting are nice.

Built my dad a new icefishing rod for christmas. I inset in the buttcap an empty shell from his .35 marlin he got when we was a young teenager...

Dark Cloud,

Nice shots. Especially liked the rod handle with the shell casing with the .35 marlin. Neat idea and something I'm sure your dad treasures!

Say, is that a largemouth he's pulling out in the second shot? Don't see much of that where I come from!

[Dark Cloud]

FinnBay - yep, largemouths. My neighbors small pond if full of 12-14 inchers with a few bigger ones. They are fun in the summer on the flyrod. We didng get any bigger ones today but they are fun on panfish gear...

Nice present, nice fish and nice pics, DC.

I see Meg has that "border collie in the headlights" look.

stfcatfish - Yep, ya dont want to get in a stareing contest with her. And if you have a ball or a frisbee, forget it...

Congratulations on the new camera! Pictures look great!

Enjoy your new toy -- I love the one of Meg.

DC, we've got a black-and-white border collie named Mollie. She's 14 now and still pretty spry in warm weather, but her ball and frisbee days are over.

Glad to see you're putting the new camera to good use.
