"December Drifter" features a stream below Grandfather Mountain where I hiked several years ago. The meandering stream with boulders and leafless trees is home to some of the native species of trout and a "sneaky" fly fisher, who looks curiously like our son Chad. He has never fished this stream (which is on park land) but what the heck, I used a little imagination.
I hope everyone has a great year, healthy and happy. Oh, and take the time this year to stop when you see something like this that catches your eye...it may turn into a painting!
