Tormod and his nephew Uilleam had gone to the meadow to dig the mid-season potatoes. It wasn’t the best crop they had grown, but young Uilleam seemed to be enjoying the opportunity to be playing in the fresh dirt.
I still don't quite understand how those things can fly, it's like sticking wings on a football. But there they go anyways !

A sunny sunday to all of you!
Digging for clams on Hartstene Island in the south Puget Sound. You scrape the rocks and oysters away and then dig through the sand to find the clams. You can easily fill a bucket like the one at my foot in about 20 minutes.

A female digs out a hollow in the stream bed for the next generation.
Every year I visit Eagle Creek to witness the cycle of life and the end of the journeys of salmon to the Columbia Gorge, a journey we must all make in our own ways to our own final destinations. This year is no different, despite the changes in climate and the burnt slopes of Eagle Creek, Coho Salmon and other salmon return to their natal stream. The journey is difficult, and most don’t make it. Natural predators with jaws agape and humans with nets and hooks await in the open ocean and later in the river and along streams. They fight their way past dams and natural obstacles. Warming waters invite fungus and disease to eat away at their flesh. Those that are lucky enough to reach their destination, spend all their remaining energy to create a new generation and provide their best for its survival. All the while they are slowly dying and decaying while still alive.
Females dig depressions, called redds, on the stream beds to catch their eggs. The reds are carefully selected where stream flow is swift enough to provide adequate oxygen but not so swift that eggs wash away. Females become battered, especially their tails and fins as they arrange and tumble rocks with their tails. Males undergo even more physical changes than the females, dramatically turning color to a brilliant red, and they develop a hooked snout with pointed teeth. When it is time to mate, the male gently swims under the female, caresses her underside, causing her to eject her eggs, which settle between the rocks and pebbles that have been cleared of algae and loose debris, he then swims over the eggs and fertilizes them. They repeat this act over and over, and together they protect their redd from predators until they become too weak and then die. The male also does his best to keep competing males away as well.
Littering the stream are the bodies of those who came before them. In death they provide nourishment to the fry when they hatch, and nourish other creatures in the stream, in that way they live on. I wonder if the salmon see their fate in the bodies of those scattered along the stream and on shore, even on branches and rocks caught in place as the stream receded between rainstorms.
Concerning for me was the lack of fish this year, along with the lack of water. I hope that soon more sustaining rains will come providing easier access to this section of stream and beyond. For now, their travel is limited. Then hopefully there will be more fish, for all our sakes. All life is linked together.
Well this is part of my job as an archeaologist. This is a friend of mine,who is digging a posthole. Yes, when it rains it can be messy..
Ra is the first puppy or dog that we have had who actually buries his toys.
