painting by Jessica Stammen

This is another light-filled memory from the day I spent on the Rapid River with my dad. It was a week before the river would close for the season. As we hiked in early in the morning we could see our breath, but by mid-day it was near sixty degrees. Late summer and early fall were teasing at each other in light and temperature; likewise, my dad and the fish were up to a game of teasing as well.
