25.75” Chain Pickerel which weighed 3.247 lbs caught on 5/11/19 in Loch Raven Reservoir
Years and years of salt water, sun, fog, cold and just plain weather have rusted these chains. Yet, they still do their job and add a beautiful aged feel to the waterline.
Little teeny tiny things, scrounged from a busted wristwatch and put on a chain. *twitch* (I actually have a chain even finer than this one, but I'm not quite that crazy.)
It was a rainy day. Made a key chain with my mentee... its so pretty! Being a mentor has some awesome perks: like impacting a life.

When I first saw this basin twenty years ago it had been chained. Chaining was a common 20th Century method of range improvement. Two big bulldozers were connected by ship anchor chain. The bulldozers ran parallel, and the chain pulled out the weed trees. In this case after twenty years, sagebrush clearly benefited.

Markarian’s Chain is a group of galaxies in the Virgo Cluster. It is called a “chain” due to the fact that, when viewed from earth, the galaxies fall along a smoothly curved line. It was named after B.E. Markarian, an American astrophysicist, who discovered their common motion in the early 1960’s.

Well it's been ten years and a thousand tears
And look at the mess I'm in
A broken nose and a broken heart,
An empty bottle of gin
Well I sit and I pray
In my broken down Chevrolet
While I'm singin' to myself
There's got to be another way
[Chorus:]
Take away, take away
Take away this ball and chain
Well I'm lonely and I'm tired
And I can't take any more pain
Take away, take away
Never to return again
Take away, take away
Take away
Take away this ball and chain
Well I've searched and I've searched
To find the perfect life
A brand new car and a brand new suit
I even got me a little wife
But wherever I have gone
I was sure to find myself there
You can run all your life
But not go anywhere
[Chorus:]
Take away, take away
Take away this ball and chain
Well I'm sick and I'm tired
And I can't take any more pain
Take away, take away
Never to return again
Take away, take away
Take away
Take away this ball and chain
Well I'll pass the bar on the way
To my dingy hotel room
I spent all my money
I've been drinkin' since half past noon
Well I'll wake there in the mornin'
Or maybe in the county jail
Times are hard getting harder
I'm born to lose and destined to fail
[Chorus:]
Take away, take away
Take away this ball and chain
Well I'm lonely and I'm tired
And I can't take any more pain
Take away, take away
Never to return again
Take away, take away
Take away
Take away this ball and chain

Whitetail Fawn - Big Meadows, Shenandoah National Park, Virginia
Have spent a lot of time during the month of June in Big Meadows and its adjacent forests. Have logged lots of morning hours and lots of evening hours in this time frame, especially while off work last week (vacation). For the second year in a row, the birthing period of Whitetail Fawns started out like a wildfire in the last week of May, but in the early days of June it all came to an abrupt end.
My theory? The predators (bears and coyotes) tuned in on the birthing activity soon after it started and so the mayhem began. The meadow became a hunting ground, both night and day. The smart Does adjusted to this predation and left their babes in thickets adjacent to people areas such as the Visitors Center and the Wayside/Camp Store. These particular babes were the lucky ones because they were allowed to reach 2 weeks of age, which is all that's required for a Fawn to have a good chance of fleeing from a predator.
So needless to say, I've been seeing the same 10 or so older Fawns the past few weeks (4 of which are 2 sets of twins) - with the exception of a few small ones here and there, but even they seem to disappear as the days go by. In the past week, there has hardly been any Whitetail activity in the meadow either in the morning or evening, it's as if the majority have turned completely nocturnal.
Up until last year, the Black Bears were the main predator of Fawns, which in a natural way has kept the Whitetail herd in check, but then another equation entered the picture in 2010: a healthy population of Coyotes. They are clever creatures, and here they seem to have no concern or fear of human presence, while they openly hunt the meadow during the daylight hours whereas the bears don't. However, one particular bear has been hunting the edge of the northern section of the meadow and has gone out into it to snatch at least one Fawn that I am aware of. But inside the woodlines is where the bears do the most predation as I have witnessed several times.
I know and understand that this is a natural process that's been occurring for many centuries in nature, and I do try to not get attached to the animals that I encounter frequently, but I can't help but cringe each time I see a Doe take her babe into the meadow's adjacent woodlines, because she's thinking that she is keeping the little one safe by moving it from the open meadow. It's a 'damned if you do and damned if you don't' scenario for them.
The whitetail herd at SNP is now taking a hit from two predator species instead of one. It'll be interesting to see what effect this has on the herd's numbers in the coming years.
So goeth the cycle of nature -- so goeth the food chain.
THANKS FOR VIEWING!
I think this was my best, the chains yet again.
It's photos like this, actually all of these pics that make my Project 8 worth doing, Only one or two of these pic was shot more than once. Just *Boom *and move on. God this made my day.
