The Salmon Are Here - By Artist Julie Deans

I finally did it! I made it to Lowville Park in time for the salmon run ... so very proud of myself. Yes, I suppose that's kind of sad, but small things amuse ... well, you know. Be warned, this post is picture heavy, so I won't bore you with too many words, just visions of salmon spawning (love is in the air, or water actually) and fall images taken over the course of two days. Enjoy!

The salmon swimming upstream to spawn.

The inevitable death after the spawn - what an odd way to live.
