Dad time on Cherakee Lake. June '13

Joy is a great teacher, but so is dispair. Wonder is a great teacher, but so is confusion. Hope is a great teacher, but so is disillusionment. And life is a great teacher, but so is death. To deny yourself any of those in any aspect is not experiencing life totally.

This grin comes from one of many northerns and walleyes caught in cold, wet, and windy weather. This kid's only goal was to "catch fish" on this year's trip and we worked hard for each one of them. I enjoyed his catching more than I did my own.

Agree with above, more or less. Nice to look at any all photos people want to share. I also suspect that the judges only consider those submitted according to contest rules. If not, that's okay too; not a thing for me to be whiney about.

I respectfully suggest that a reasonable deadline for announcing winners be established, although I know just leaving it as "whenever" keeps us coming back to check whenever we see a new post.
