My Seventh Anniversary

My first photo on The Sand Hill seven years ago.  This is Stalker Creek, still the place where I want my ashes spread.  My parents sent me a 4mp digital camera when I moved to Idaho to document my experiences.  They knew they'd never see photos otherwise.

Well, yesterday marked seven years in Idaho.  It's amazing that I've now spent a quarter of my life here fishing, working hard, and having adventures with Paddy.  I was just a young pup who needed a break when I moved here to work for The Nature Conservancy for the summer.  I wonder if it was the right decision for me and then I remember  could be sitting in traffic in Houston or Dallas instead of pointing out rising fish to clients.  There may be redfish, Shiner, and brisket in Texas, but there are trout, mountains, and rivers that keep me here in Idaho.

I wonder what my life will be like in another seven years...
