Why Do I Blog?

I blog for the sheer narcissistic joy of the glory of having millions of people read my all-important thoughts and…

Oops.  Those are my secret thoughts that are never to be seen or heard. I really should delete those words.

All joking aside, when the OBN writing prompt asked “Why we blog” I did have to stop and think about it.

I’m pretty new to the blogging world – this blog was only started in February. I have started blogs in the past but would make two posts and forget about them. So what made me think I should try again? Why did I even feel like I should?

Least Trophy Worthy Catch

The Outdoor Blogger Network posted a photo prompt this week asking for the most un-frame worthy outdoors photos.

I couldn’t find any featuring myself, which is probably thanks to the fact I keep the camera in my possession 99% of the time. But I did find these:

A very un-trophy worthy catch - I don't think we'll be hanging this picture on the wall.

Darrell inspects his 'big' catch of the day. Can you see it?

These pictures were taken on a late spring day when we couldn’t catch anything. I didn’t have so much as a nibble that day and when Darrell hooked this one I insisted on a picture.

Despite the lack of fish it was a wonderful day. The sun was shining, it was warm and the bugs weren’t biting. I entertained myself by watching minnows chase each other back and forth and taking pictures of the beautiful scenery. Jack and Darrell took a stroll through the river while I stayed on the bank.

These pictures don’t represent a failure, despite the un-trophy-like size of the catch, they remind me of a great spring day enjoying the outdoors.

Cheers!

A few months ago, before I even thought of starting this blog, I was tipped off to a great online resource called Outdoor Blogger Network (OBN).  On this one website you can find access to a plethora of blogs about fishing, hunting and the outdoors. The quality of writing and photography will keep you entertained for hours.

For bloggers this amazing resource provides photo prompts, writing prompts, gear review opportunities, helpful blogging tips and a forum where you can interact with other bloggers.

I am very happy to now be a part of this great resource and hope everyone spares a moment to check it out. OBN can be found at www.outdoorbloggernetwork.com.
