Photo 8           

WarEagle

Taken 5-1-05 by my Brother Alan

at Stone Arch Lake, Atterbury FWA in Edinburgh, Indiana.

Alan and I were on our Spring Turkey Season outing and the fishing had been up and down.  We started on 4-28 and fished every day until 5-1.  I had been having success throwing Sqworm Stix and had nailed a 5lb+ largemouth at Huntingburg Reservoir a couple days before this.  But the weather turned cold, windy and rainy.  We toughed it out and I managed to pick this nice largemouth up on my last Sqworm Stix in Candy that I had left.

S.Petro at a+plus

I took this photo in the late eighties. 

I was in a bass boat along a canal that ran along the runway of the Opa Loca
airport(notice the lily-pads).  As you can see this is an f-18 Blue Angel. If you look close enough.....you can see the pilot.  This pic was snapped while the jet was just under supersonic speed.  I moved the camara to the right and clicked the pic without looking through the view finder.  It had to be the luckiest shot of my life.

photo 11

AwesomeBullet

Date:  January 2002

Location:  My backyard overlooking Lake Lizzie in St Cloud FL

This was the scene as I awoke on the coldest day of 2002 for us.  There is
a light layer of frost on the ground and the steam coming off of the lake
made it look a little more "northern".  It was just a little chilly for us
Florida boys that day.  Gave it the illusion of "what will the day bring?"
especially with the jon boat tied to the end of the dock, looking like it
is ready to roll out into the mist.
