Stop Motion Romance

He Wants the Cloths of Heaven

by W. B. Yeats


Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,

Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly, because you tread on my dreams.

Schöner Stern, mein Herz ist voll. My dream is real.

Is that a dried up river bed, it looks so rustic and fun to hiking through...

It's in the Topanga State Recreation area off Sunset near the 405. Lots of deer tracks and POISON OAK.

Where is that river bed? Will those giant boulders be flowing with rushing glacial waters come Spring?

Ohhhhhh, that's the dreaded poisen oak day! I doubt there could be a dried up anything up in AK! Not the rivers, not the streams, not your love...

AB, read the previous post. Are there glaciers near Topanga that I don't know about?

Ahem... I showed you blog to my wife and got just about the reaction I expected - she loved it and and told that I should write stuff like this as well...

TMF, stop it! You make other fly fishing bloggers look bad. ;-)

Thanks Opax. Ever since I found your blog, I can't help thinking about a Finnish finfish expedition.

At this phase of life it is very difficult for me to come to Alaska/North America. Maybe after few years...

How about fishing in Scandinavia?
