Hammock
Dreaming
Summer

Wow this hammock is amazing!

the net (a requiem).

just below the sea to sky highway, consolidated all into one cliff face was a place of summer dreams. while swimming, cliff jumping and sunsets are still more than one could ask for, it’s diving board and dream-like hammock are no more. made out of patches of fishing nets and positioned high up in the trees, it had the power to remind you that all you could want from life are the simple things.

I learned about Tenkara fly fishing last summer from Yvon Chouinard himself who has spent a lot of time exploring this style of fishing. He so kindly helped me to get my own rod set-up by sending me some line and tips. Fireside time tonight getting the rod geared up (made my own knotted leader for the first time) and ready for fishing.

Maybe it’s just in America, but it seems that if you’re passionate about something, it freaks people out. You’re considered bizarre or eccentric. To me, it just means you know who you are.
