FISH ON!
My boy caught this 18 inch rainbow trout on a father-son fishing excursion to Baum Lake in Shasta County, California, USA. It put up a pretty good tussle right on the surface in warm late morning light so I had to grab a shot.
UPDATE SEPTEMBER 2023

Echoing language used when law enforcement search a home for drugs, the warrant allowed deputies to "utilize breaching equipment to force open doorway(s), entry doors, exit doors, and locked containers" and to search all rooms, garages and "storage rooms, and outbuildings of any kind large enough to accommodate a small goat."
Cedar was taken and slaughtered.
"It was never about money," said Vanessa Shakib, an attorney for Advancing Law for Animals who represents Long. "County officials were clear that they wanted to teach this little girl a lesson."
Shakib argues that county and fair officials abused their power in what should have been a simple breach of contract.
Attorneys for Long also argue the county's response to use law enforcement personnel and resources was disproportionate, considering they were dealing with a family who was trying to keep a goat from being slaughtered.
"It's shocking," said Ryan Gordon, an attorney with Advancing Law for Animals. "It's a little girl's goat, not Pablo Escobar."

With the news being on Twitter but not as much here, I wanted to share this for anyone else who wanted to help in any way. I'm not sure where the family can be offered donations or direct support yet.

This shot captures the center span of the Pit 3 bridge over the dam of the same name. It was shot from just to the north, looking across Lake Britton. The water at the top of the dam reminds me a great deal of an "infinity edge" swimming pool when the lake is full and I thought it looked wonderful reflecting fall tones in the October late afternoon light.
Lake Britton is in Shasta County, California. It is popular among anglers targeting trout, bass, and crappie. It is fed by the Pit River, Hat Creek, Burney Creek, and Clark Creek. The main body of the lake is very near The McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park.
