A Peachy Dory Ice Melt

This guy was having a peachy dory time last week despite the ice melting around him. You gotta love Wisconsin fishermen.
WARNING: I'll be using the term "peachy dory" as often as I can until it no longer amuses me.

Bet he's drinking a Pabst

    1. The way things are going you just might. It's barely snowed here and the first part of January saw temps in the high 40s/low 50s.

  6. My hat off to anyone who would brave hours in the freezing cold, just for maybe a single fish!!
    You have a real knack Jeanna to find these once in a life time captures! Thank you blog Friend to keep us on our toes at All Seasons!

    1. It's so cold (how cold is it?) that every time I see people ice fishing I get a chill. I braved the inhumanely freezing cold armed only with my cousin, a hand auger and six pack of beer a few times and that was enough. It wasn't freezing cold when I took this pic, it was warm for winter and sunny, a beautiful day, really. We had a lot of those really nice days and now we're in for it so says the weather forecasters.

  7. That is one peachy dory time I do not ever want to experience! But that guy would probably hate peachy dory hot and humid Florida. Everything works out well that way!

    1. Oh c'mon, a hearty RVer like yerself, Sallie? It gets plenty hot and humid here and I know I don't have a peachy dory or hunky keen time in that kind of weather. It's the lunatics out there in 50˚ weather that slays me. Shouldn't be a problem in upcoming days though.

    1. I bet you do, I wonder what the dogs think when they see them. Lots of Swedes and Germans and Norwegians around these parts, Fi.

  9. Peachy dory is a cool phrase. Does it refer to a nice looking fish or a boat? I like your photo. I wonder if he's as happy as he looks.

    1. Ha, I didn't think of that, very good. I'm feeling more and more like Dory these days. I think a fisherman isn't truly happy unless he's fishing.

    1. He might have been chilled but not frozen. I'll see if I can find some frozen fishermen for you this weekend.

    1. Yeah, sometimes the stark snow works in my favor (usually not, though).

    1. I think it looks better in black and white too, Betty. Yeah, I suppose that's what those guys do, make the best of an often miserable winter. This is more of a real ice fishermen although he's got a power auger. A lot of them are in cozy shacks.

  16. This was one more unseasonably warm day and I'll take safety over sunshine any day.

  17. Brrrrr! I think the B&W treatment enhances the cold. Good shot, Jeanna!
    Thanks for taking part in the "My Sunday Best" meme.
