A typical member of my fly fishing club, two years into the pandemic.

Judging by the fish, this guy has the right equipment for the job!
Well seen.

Very nice.

But it's too bad the fish doesn't also have a beard.

My wife came across this guy in a closet, and doesn't remember who gave it to her. But it just seemed appropriate for this moment in time, when so many of us could really use a good haircut.

Two things I want to know. Is there any green behind that guys ears. Seems maybe yes, given those green eyes green fish; and where do I get a pair of those really spiffy boots.

John, you are a sharp observer, as always. Your question sent me on a search; to wit, what exactly is the origin of "green behind the ears", anyway? And there is an interesting discussion about it here: Green Behind the Ears? (https://www.visualthesaurus.com/cm/wordroutes/green-behind-the-ears/)
I stand enlightened.
