fishing with grandpa

For Andy

Not easy getting a youngster, full of energy to the brim and spilling over with it, interested in something that requires patient waiting and silence, but this grandfather was doing quite a good job at it.

I am not fond of recreational fishing (not fond of anything in which "recreation" involves taking an animal's life, frankly), but I enjoyed watching the bonding of the two generations here.

Even with its contradictions, life is beautiful. Andy, keep fighting that nasty virus and come back to us soon!

I fully agree with you about not enjoying anything envolving taking an animal's life and I am almost vegetarian. Maybe the almost is still too much, but if all humanity eated as little animals as I do the world would be a better and more sustainable place for sure...
Learning from grandpa is something many youngsters do not have time too nowadays, too much occupied by social media on their cellphones...

La fotografía testimonia, a mi juicio, dos aspectos positivos de la vida. Una que los mayores han de enseñar a los menores. Y otra, que el humano es omnívoro desde que se puso de pies. Hacer trampas a la genética es como intentar desnaturalizar la naturaleza humana.
La fotografía me gusta mucho, sitúa a las personas en un lugar impactante y enfoque.

hai ragione: piacevole non e' certo il pescare in se' quanto l'armonia tra nonno e nipote! poi magari rimettono i pesci pescati in acqua.....

L'art de la pêche se transmet avec la patience de l'attente du mordage ! je veux bien le pratiquer dans un lieu aussi idyllique. le grand luxe du calme. Je pêchais beaucoup autrefois.
Bon jeudi
