‘Fishy thoughts’.

Spotted whilst crossing the ‘Ness Bridge’ in Inverness, this gnome tries his luck in the river Ness below. Of course he is really after catching ‘Nessie’ which he has nearly caught on several occasions. He suspects Nessie swims down here from time to time, from his home in Loch Ness, only six miles South West of here for a bit of sightseeing and a light snack. As bait, in the can, is Nessie’s favourite food mix – Haggis stewed in Irn-Bru. How could he possibly resist that?
HFF, enjoy the weekend.

Hi Herb

I like this fun picture very much!

Exactly what he hopes to catch with an empty beer can for bait, I have no idea!
A full one would perhaps do better!

Best Wishes, HFF, and a good weekend
