Kid Fish

[Russell]

Do you ever wonder?

Do you ever wonder what it's like to be a kid again and spend carefree summer days enveloped by your joyful surroundings?

All it takes for me to re-connect is to go fishing . Watching my kids catch fish in the farm pond that's on the land where I grew up is a link to my past and to our collective future as a family. The joy that such a simple activity brings them is concurrently endearing and hopeful.

Right now, times are tough all over. Watching them have fun makes all of the worries of a crippling drought, oppressive heat and economic turmoil disappear - if just for a little while.

Do you ever wonder?

If it was 117 Sunday in Childress as the Weather Channel reported, then I'm sure your kids were out only about 20 minutes! Good series nonetheless...

It was 117 here yesterday. In the past six months we've had a 128 degree temperature swing (-10 to 117). It crazy...

However, these images were shot a few weeks ago at our place in Northeast Texas.

Thanks for the comment!
