It was a beautiful Sunday morning at the park. As I’ve mentioned earlier, and I have still to verify, I believe this lake spans 45 acres. I was shooting ducks with the camera and noticed this event taking place right next to me. Casually I swung the camera over and focused on the fisherman. Swung back to the ducks and waited. When he put his leg up, I knew I had the shot. It was perfect with the cigarette hanging from his mouth. I had to reload after taking a boatload of duck and geese shots to get the last image posted here. (Well, the last one here. I took a couple others.) Right after I tripped the shutter for the last shot, a huge fish jumped out of the water right behind their boat. I hope they had a good catch that morning. After these shots, I finished the roll off on two families of Canada Geese. The young ones were too much fun.

Beautiful place to go fishing on a Sunday morning! Great shots Micki, particularly the first one. It speaks volumns.
Awh, I'd love to be there right now. It's looks amazing. Lovely shots.
Ahhh...so serene and peaceful. What a lovely spot to spend some time.
The first one is definitely the best here. Nice composition.
Great Micki, especially like the last one..thats awesome, especially the reflections on the left..Keep it up..
Now that brings back many memories of my childhood out on the river fishing with my dad and grandfather (whom everyone called Catfish). The first shot is particularly nice.
Nice fishing party. I hope you'll show us your ducks and geese shots
I really like the color and composition in the bottom photo. Very relaxing images.
nice shots ! last one is my favorite, i think...
The 1st shot is especially fantastic, very good impace and loving your framing.
GREAT GREAT SHOT!
Idylic . . wonderful stillness in #3. Can hear the silence from here!
Cool shots Micki. I was supposed to go fishing this past Sunday but I bailed and didn't go. I was too lazy.
That's the real life! Nice place to take a break...
Gramps on the boat (top one) look Norman Rockwellish
The last one is definitely my favourite. Lovely shot.
Gorgeous...one of my favourite past times captured!
i always want to do fishing...never have an experience before...this photos really make me want to go fishing..beautiful shots:-)))
I love the first shot. Looks like a great way to spend a sunday.
What a peaceful place I am sure my natureboy would love to be in that boat! Can't wait to see the duck photos!!
Ahhhh. I want to be there right now. The bottom is my favorite. Lovely shots all three. Just finished a photomontage of fishing pics for my dad for Father's Day so I can identify with Otto's post.
Of, these people shots are fantastic. Nice captures on the expressions.
i wanna go. altogether, my favorite is the last one, though i do like the close up in the first. every week you get me closer and closer to leaving the city;)
The place is very beautiful, seems a tranquillity paradise.
The first photograph tells a story, empty hook of the fishing pole, long ash of the cigarette after a long wait, the man's expression. Good focus and nice composition.
Fantastic series - great colors!

Ahhh, I'm relaxed just looking at these. How nice it must be to live in your town with its decided lack of dangerous marsupials.
I see that first shot and somehow it evokes that famous engraving of Socrates and his cup of hemlock - strange, I know.
The last image is so serene - the glassy lake surface and the pronounced reflection of foliage are just the icing on the cake!
Too many shots to comments on.
nice series.

Lovely series Micki. Like the relaxing nature, makes me want to go on a holiday.
It's not Lake Placid is it ?!!!
