En route from one watershed to another, we startle a group of three

chance meetings between small to medium mammals, still groggy from
the slow
winter time, and automobiles that know no seasonal moderation. The
crimson
splashes that mark the vultures buffets fade ever more quickly as the
season
progresses and the color is needed elsewhere.

A month from now yellow humpies and orange stimulators will fool the
trout
with a promise of fat and succulence.....the sheer hubris of a royal
coachman streamer will excite the retribution of rainbows holding in
a
riffle. Yesterday, the stark white on black of a pass lake,
recalling the
motif of the season just past, worked well enough.

That's really good stuff. Thanks.
