okay, so it's a carp, not a catfish, and there's no paddlewheel for a thousand miles, but it sounded neat, okay? just a fun shot i got at Juanita this afternoon of the carp taking a leap right in front of a great blue heron... which looked like it didn't know quite what to make of the whole thing! 7D, 220mm, 1/500 @ f/5.6. coulda got a closer shot if i'd zoomed it to 400mm, but i didn't want to risk not getting the carp in the frame...

That's a nice shot!

Will I ever catch a shot like that? No! But, black water keeps rollin' on past just the same...

Do catfish really jump? And, yes there is a paddle wheeler less than 1,000 miles away.
The Emerald Queen paddle wheeler is still in town (Fife water ways).
It looks pretty good actually, given the time frame that the old Emerald Queen location has been closed.
Some one is taking really good care of it.
And ..... nice capture! Timing is everything.

thanks, Deka! i forgot about the Emerald Queen... these days, i hear that and all i think of is "casino"... ;)
 
Hey, I won $75.00 on that old paddle wheeler! Nickel slots even.
It really is interesting what a person can forget if not looking to remember. LOL
I had forgotten about the old Emerald Queen until Hubby and I ran across the old site and got closer.
I have shots that I'll post later. I'll even get some new ones from a different angle.
