I don't know what else can explain the fascination with guns, that would make people post such pictures, or buy such foolish and deadly arguments as gun proponents do, or hang on so tightly against any regulation. "From my dead cold hands" cries the ammosexual, as if any gun regulation is going to take Heston's shotgun away from him. Truly silly, and truly sick.

Notice that you saw (and commented on) the firearms and not the sunset view? A firearm is one of many tools the wife and I brought to camp. My trusty knife and tomahawk made the trip too along with all of my cooking gear and Swedish Fire Steel (never leave home without it) even though we never needed it. Better to be prepared than not. While I was up at camp, I never once even thought about my revolver. I never had reason to. It's only a tool and like all tools, has specific purposes. Sometimes those purposes arise, sometimes they don't.

We did do a lot of shooting though. We woke up for sunrise:







Our first morning there ended up being perfect. Temperature was mid-40's. Took several hours for the fog to burn off the water.



We had coffee with one of the local fisherman who was also out early.





I spent the second day photographing some spectacular hummingbird dogfights (Speaking of sexual things, I do like hummers. Get it?   ).





I've got hundreds of these. You should get out of the house more Eric. You might find yourself not thinking about politics 24/7.
