| enjoyed your commentary Mike....I have culled ogons for days when eyes and back seemed like they'd never make it! But your right, a 3-4 year old Yamabuki
with exceptional fukerin and proper sized pecs with outstanding hikari is a thing of great beauty.
I used to have one that I would call to hand feed worms to. I'd splash the pond water along the edge and she's zip over to get her reward. One day I was approaching the pond and spied some song sparrows getting ready to bathe.
They jumped in and started splashing and she zipped right over for her treat.
she was about 6 inches from the birds when one noticed her and squakked a warning throwing itself out of harm's way. I laughed so hard...I had to go
dig her a worm so she wouldn't be disappointed. Wasn't anything I could do for the birds....bet their little hearts raced all day! |
