Roderick Haig-Brown fished for salmon, but his croquet pitch is now graced with fish as colourful as the hand-tied flies he used as words when he talked with fish and learned to change the world.
Rod’s Fly-Tying Box

See what I mean?

Those are some beautiful fish, eh! And add some trees, well, the water takes on the look of fish scales…

And when the caretaker throws in some food?

Fantastic. But nothing beats the rain …

… the glorious rain the makes rivers out of the drops of water on the tip of a leaf …

… and seems to make fish out of the water itself…

As Rod’s best friend Van Egan said to me a few years back, “After awhile you just become the river.” That’s for sure.
