Another great day.

It was another gorgeous day.  Unfortunately, I didn't have any clients booked today...fortunately, I don't feel guilty about taking a day off and coming to places like this.  It was so gorgeous here yesterday that we couldn't pass up another opportunity to come and discover some more of the West Fork.  
We walked a little farther, and the boys as usual loved it.


Wally is proving to be a challenge for me, photographically speaking....because he's so low to the ground.  It seems like this is the only angle I could get him in today.  He's been attached to Papa's side, and he's also Scotts good luck charm when it comes to fishing.  
 

You can see how happy Scott is... he hooked a few that size today and it was a good way for him to end his Christmas break.  I caught two myself, one 13 inches...much larger than the average size rainbow trout in the West Fork.

Spot and Wally in their sweaters.  It got chilly in the mountains once the sun hides behind the canyon.  They had fun....they're tired, sore (well Spot is...Wally actually played with toys when he got back.) and asleep.  
Wally had a great week.  He's been to the Arroyo, Eaton Canyon, Chantry Flats, JPL Trail, and the West Fork since we've had him.  He must think he's in doggy heaven...and he is. 
It will be interesting to see how he does once Scott starts school and of course, I have to work.  Wish us luck on that.

Wally gets another dose of nature

We all got to go to the West Fork of the San Gabriel River today.  It was beeeautiful today and it felt like we were on vacation.  As usual, Wally loved exploring and the long walk tuckered him out.
He's the perfect fishing buddy...and if anything, I think he's Scott's good luck charm because he's had a lot of success fishing lately. 
Patiently waiting for their treats
I always find heart rocks...and it's been a while since I've found one.  Lately, it seems that I'm always watching Wally walk (because he's so dang cute) and he just walks over them, practically showing me the way to them.
It's only appropriate that I found a big one, and a small one :)
