This was part of a stained glass mosaic by Cheryl Foster titled “Maryland’s Bounty,” comprising two panels. The description for this fish reads: “The Pumpkinseed Fish is one of the most colorful fish found in Maryland Waters and has an orange/red belly with olive green sides that are speckled with orange, blue and emerald spots. They have an excellent flavor and are low in fat and high in protein.” I chose this particular fish to photograph because the gold in the scales was glittering so beautifully in the light.
