catch and release, a guppy fish story
some years back, the daughter caught some guppy fish down at garner state park, in the rio frio. somehow we also had a few come home from school. we had a small guppy school on our counter, for years. I figured they don't live long. over the years, they died off, except this one survivor.
at some point, we figured it must be lonely (unless he was finally glad to be rid of those other fish...) either way, we decided it was time to return it to the wild. 
we often see guppy around the rocks in the blanco river near our wimberley cabin. a plan was hatched to take him from his aquarium in our austin home, and release him in the river near our wimberley home. one final car/truck ride to say our goodbyes.
a quick walk down the path from our cabin to the river.
we were all back to nature. kat let the water temper for twenty minutes, did a partial water exchange, and let it go..
it stayed in the same spot where it was released for quite a while (I used photoshop to darken it in the pic). then it swam away...
