Bread Fishing

Earlier this week I had some leftover bread and I thought I might try to "catch" some fish in my pond. I threw out about 20 chunks and waited very patiently, for about 90 seconds. Nothing happened so I went inside to clean up my dinner dishes. A few minutes later I noticed large water rings in the pond. I knew it was fish so I ran outside to see if my awesome deductive reasoning skills were correct. I saw about eight huge fish eating the bread chunks. I ran back in the house to get more bread but when I got back to the pond the fish were gone. In the bread went anyway and I waited again. Another 90 seconds went by and I ran back in the house to get my camera. Here are the two best shots I got (and they are pretty bad).



I stayed on the deck for a while just watching these huge fish--at least 12 inches long. The water is black and the fish are black (I've been informed that they are probably carp) and it was getting late in the day so the pictures aren't really post-worthy but they're all I have to work with. I stood there sweating in the humidity until the last morsel of bread was eaten. Then, as I was leaving the house to run an errand, I saw three cats lazily walking down my driveway. I didn't have my camera with me then but I assure you they were cute.
