Face painting. If you look real close, you can see this girl's eyes were closed. The tiger eyes are painted on her eyelids! Every time these kids blinked, you saw tiger eyes.

National Lemonade Day - May 05 2013.

National Lemonade Day - May 05 2013.

Who knew? What does this have to do with fly fishing? Maybe nothing. Or maybe a whole lot, if you're someone who would like to give their child or grandchild a taste of what it's like to be an entrepreneur. Maybe they'll be a future fly shop owner? :-)

Saskatchewan is on the map for June 02, 2013. Maybe one of our readers from Alberta would like to jump on board?

We cropped this photo fairly tight so that you could see the look of joy on the faces of the two little girls, as they hang on tight for a ride through a bit of rough water on the Bow River this afternoon. Please make sure you click on the photo!

On Friday August 03, the flow rate of the Bow River at Calgary came down to below 200 cms for the first time since early June!
