Apparently, the Easter Bunny doesn't observe Lent by refraining from meat.

We end up in the strangest places. We stay thuggin'.

I woke up before the sun to go fly fishing for Steelhead trout today. Capitalizing on another annual migratory behaviour, steelhead instinctive come into the rivers and streams from the lake to lay their eggs this time every year (a lot like salmon). They're huge fish (about a foot and a half on average), and it's really cool seeing them in such shallow water. Those fish weren't nearly big enough for me though, so I caught this massive beast. Note the size of the flies in both pictures for scale.

The sun went to bed before I did too.

Drinking outside on warm evenings is one of my top favorite things to do ever at all. Granted, as soon as the temperature hits 50°, people in Cleveland start wearing shorts and tank tops like it's summer time. But the first really nice night for drinking on a patio is kind of a big deal.

I take a lot of pictures of birds.

Every year, Spotted Salamanders come out of hibernation and instinctively return to spawn in the same vernal pools they were born in. Since our house is down the street from these pools, we've been going to see them this time every year since moving in. During this season, other kinds of salamanders (that move too quickly to have their pictures taken) and lots of different frogs also come out of hibernation.

Also, our yard's reputation for having the best skunk bait in the neighborhood is quickly spreading among raccoons. Little do they know that Nicole and I are really fameous doctors on TV. (That picture really gets jpeg-ed by Picasa, look at this too.)
