I like to look at fishermen
And often times I wish
One would be lucky now and then
And catch a little fish.

I went very early hoping for horses on the beach, alas there were none, I was seduced by this little scenario...three generations of fishermen baiting their lines. I don't really understand fishing, maybe it's a 'patience' thing..all I know is that if it bridges the gap for a while, it has to be a good thing oui! Taken at 6.30am on the beach at Pinnaroo Point, this early bird wasn't early enough to catch the horse..next time! Happy Tuesday, take care.....p.s. can you just imagine this little chap saying 'like this Dad?"
Yep, I can hear him saying those exact words!! Wonderful captures of such a beautiful, beautiful place! Hope your week is off to a great start, Grace! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteNice shots Grace..... good work again.
ReplyDeleteGreetings, Joop
Great pictures and title: I hope they are enjoying it!
ReplyDeletegreat getaway on the water. Well, these three generations. In compliance.
ReplyDeletePassing on the how to. Good.
ReplyDeleteVery touching shots.
ReplyDeleteI can totally see him saying that! Wonderful cross-generation shots, I get the feeling these 3 would've loved your photos!
ReplyDeleteGreat capture. Grace. So early!!
ReplyDeleteIts a good way to bond three generations.
ReplyDeleteIn by experience, the lad is more likely to be saying, 'Dad, I've got a hook in my finger'. They are big rods for what seems to not be open water. Probably shows how much I know about fishing.
ReplyDeleteWhat joy !
ReplyDeleteHow life can, how life should be.
Please have a good Tuesday.
I'm not a fisherman either but, I do think this is a wonderful scene binding those three generations together.
ReplyDeleteThis is one sport that families appear to enjoy together! I have always thought of fishing a s a "man thing"! But in recent years, I have seen many females getting out there and dipping the line! I'm still not convinced that this is my thing though!
ReplyDeleteVery happy shots.
ReplyDeleteI don't get it either. Maybe fishing is a Zen exercise. You wouldn't dare eat anything from the waters where I grew up so there was no tradition.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a fisherman but every sport fisherman I have seen seems content and at peace. So, up and taking photos at 6:30 a.m.? You are tough competition.
ReplyDeletenice scene!
ReplyDeleteHappy Aloha to YOU

Love to fish, from a pier, on a beach, from a small boat... I can clean them too, but I pretend that I cannot. hehehe

Seaside and sunshine, it's a fantasy world out there!
ReplyDeleteWell you didn't capture your horses Grace but you captured this lovely family fishing ..... a beautiful moment in time.
ReplyDeleteLovely family picture. I can't understand fishing either, to me it seems frustrating and stressful, but it appears it's actually the opposite!
ReplyDeletea sweet vignette ... maybe horses next time
ReplyDeleteThat looks very warm and inviting.
ReplyDeleteVery impressive, Grace, that you were up and at 'em by 6:30 a.m. I think for many fishermen it's not about catching fish, but just being outdoors relaxing. I'll look forward to seeing the horses some other day.
ReplyDeleteHere it says: Every Czech is a musician. In Australia, perhaps says: What an Australian, a fisherman. But that's probably just for the coast. Ha.ha. Many greetings! Peter.
ReplyDeleteIt is -11C outside, so I still LOVE to see your SUMMER down under....
ReplyDeleteLooks fantastic!
Enjoy!
Good shots!
ReplyDeleteI've never been able to understand fishing either...
