First Yellow Leaf

The first yellow leaf I saw today was sitting on a rock in a stream.

 

The Nooksack tribe says that before the Europeans arrived, you could walk across the water on the backs of the fish. This is what they mean.

 

Currently, the tribes and the local fisheries a fighting Big Oil and Big Coal to stop the transport of toxic chemicals through sacred waters. They want to build the world's largest coal dump on sacred Lummi burial grounds, which are also above a herring breeding spot. They have skirted state regulations to transport toxic oil bombs by rail through our county.
