Fishing

While in Illinois we did some fishing in the ponds on the Meyer farm.  We caught a mess of bluegill and small bass, and Emmy even got a crappie.  Fishing from the shore of a small pond on a nice day is one of my favorite ways to fish, especially when the kids are catching them, too.

Flower and Fish Market

One entire market in Kowloon was dedicated to selling flowers and another selling fish. The former was jam-packed when we visited it; Ann figured out why: The next day was Mother's day. Most of the little shops sold cut flowers in a brilliant display of colors and shapes; I wish there was a market like that near our house. The goldfish market was a street where nearly every shop was full of aquariums and fish supplies. Most interestingly, they sold lots of fish in bags.



Mums, I think, but in a shape I hadn't see before.
