I thought I had ruined this picture by having it on movie instead of photo on the iPhone. Well, dog-gone-it...I didn’t, and now I get to post it. Was putting gas n the car at a local truck stop where the gas is only $3.15, and I watched this truck pull in. When I focused in on the FISH, I knew I had to post it. To me, this is one of those one-of-a-kind change photos. The men were up on the top opening the compartments and sticking the pole in them.

Bud, atop Terrapin Mountain.
No, I did not climb it with him. This was taken by a friend of ours.
I just had to post it because it is such a great shot of him.
He looks so happy to be where he is.

Bud calls these “Phantom Deer.”
There was something about the vertical silos and the horizontal fences that caught my eye as Bud was driving...an iPhone 4 drive-by. It was another dark and dreary day.

I've seen tanks like these at fish hatcheries to transport young fish to the lakes and ponds where they are to grow to full size. Each of those tanks holds thousands of fingerlings.
ReplyDeleteOh, ok I was going to ask is question but I think the comment above answered it. A great picture ...interesting jobs always fascinate me. Rest of the pictures are great too...your hubby does look happy!
ReplyDeleteI wonder why they were poking the pole into the tanks?
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked the chapel! ;-)
All interesting pics and the one of Bud is breathtaking. I can only imagine how he felt with such a view. Definitely looks triumphant!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful series of photo's, all so different. And yes, sometimes there is only one chance for a photo, and feel happy when you took it! :)
ReplyDeleteI've seen fish hatcheries but hadn't really thought about how the fish got there in the first place! Glad your photo wasn't ruined after all.
ReplyDeleteAnd Bud does look very pleased :)
Fine "Phantom Venado"! Fotos Nice!
ReplyDeletelove the silo twins. :) that's a big fish haul!
ReplyDeleteYes, live fish is a rare sighting in gas stations.
ReplyDeletefrankly my dear
Taken For Granted has answered a lot of questions I had today! :-) I have never before seen fish being transported.
ReplyDeleteAwesome photo of Bud! Great job Bud!

Great post. :)
ReplyDeleteAt least those fish live to see another day. Bud looks like he's on top of the world.
ReplyDeleteHa,ha - I like that "an iphone drive by". I have had many of those. Well, we are in the midst of another great snow storm this morning. Whoever said "in like a lion and out like a lamb" or vice versa - This March has been in like a lion and going out the same way. That's a whole bunch of fish on that truck there Genie - are they stocking a pond somewhere. Nice photos and hi ya buddy way up there on the mountain top :)
ReplyDeletewonderful photos genie!
ReplyDeleteLove that truck full of "live fish"!! Surely smells better than dead ones, I bet!! Love the view from atop the mountain!! Terrific captures, as always, Genie, and thanks as always for sharing the fun and the beauty with us!!
ReplyDeleteI have never seen a live fish truck before, great catch! Loved the one of Bud on top of the mountain, something I would love to do but I think those days are long gone. Great series of photos Genie :)
ReplyDeletelove the live fish truck and the shadows
ReplyDeleteAll wonderful shots for SWF ~ love the fish truck and Bud does look happy ~ xxx
ReplyDeleteNeat shot of the fish truck!! Great series.. Have a happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteWonderful set of images.
ReplyDeleteA terrific series Genie, lots of variety! At first I thought you meant the guys had fishing poles, and were actually fishing in the tanks. LOL I must be tired. That photo of Bud is splendid! what a terrific achievement and view! Thanks for stopping by Beep's blog.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful series Genie… so nice to see the golden grasses beneath the skies too!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots--how lucky that you were in the right place at the right time for the first one. My WW
