We’re having our best salmon season here in the SF Bay Area in a decade. The hatcheries finally listened to the fishermen and 3 years ago instead of releasing the baby salmon in the death gauntlet that is now the Sacramento River over 10 million smolts were released in San Francisco Bay. Surprise surprise, we have probably a million fish to catch this year instead of 250k! Ocean conditions are also just incredible. Whales and massive areas of anchovies all up and down the coast! 

Always love a good @Kaptain Karl fishing escapade replete with catches!

Vacationing in the Smokey Mountains with the family.  32 people the first 3 days in one house - aerobeds and grandchildren everywhere - then down to 21 for the next 5 days - now down to just 5 for the final week.  Seems kinda lonely now.  A few pictures - evening after a rain with the classic picture of why they get their name as "smokey", typical evening on the porch with Old Fashions (this is bourbon country) and then a new travel case I made up for the trip - holds > 40 cigars, two cutters, two lighters, Bovedas and the trusty PerfectDraw.

Just like my vacations. 24 in the house for 2 weeks. I have a similar setup. I love pelican cases for travel.

Breakfast for one  while my partner is at hot yoga. Some sort of prawn coconut concoction on rye. The sauce in the middle is amazing.

I don’t know how familiar you all are with growing oriental lilies, but these casa Blanca are quite the specimen - 16 blooms on one stalk!
