My visit to Twenty Mile Creek coincided with the peak of the fall salmon run. Every pool in the creek was full of spawning salmon. The salmon on the left was still breathing when I arrived, but by the time I took this photo it had died. For those who are wondering how large - both fish are well over two feet in length
Wild Pacific Salmon reefnet fishing is a historical Pacific Northwest salmon fishing method. It has been practiced for centuries by the Native American tribes of the Puget Sound. Fisherman still stand on towers, wearing polaroid sunglasses, waiting to spot a school of Sockeye, Chinook, Pink, Coho or Chum salmon swimming along the reef and over the small net suspended between two boats. This process is incredibly selective, as spotters can identify the exact type of fish swimming below. When a school of salmon is observed, the net is quickly pulled up and the fish are gently spilled into a netted live well to relax after a brief struggle. This process is not only humane but allows for the dissipation of bitter lactic acid built up in the salmon flesh, which results in a sweeter flavor.

Great new recipe (here with grilled corn). Recipe found here - coreyrecipes.blogspot.com/2020/08/grilled-salmon-kabobs.html
One of the more successful Salmon from this morning; it got good air and height. Although it fell short of the top, the salmon powered its way up and over the edge to the top. Watched a number of salmon just crash straight into the wall of the dam; that had to hurt.
Painting a postcard for S en plein air. The salmon flies were thick!
It was warm (65-90ish depending on the day) and chilly (40's F) at night.
Saw lots of wildlife including golden eagles and big horn sheep.
I love what happens when painting outside.
This Bald Eagle was walking along this sandbar and then walked into the water and checked out this salmon who appeared to be stuck behind a clump of grass. The eagle gently grabbed it by its fin and pulled it back and it let it swim up stream. There was no attempt to catch it and eat it, it seemed like it was just helping; strange.
Salmon Street Springs, or Salmon Street Fountain, is an outdoor water fountain at the intersection of Naito Parkway at Southwest Salmon in Tom McCall Waterfront Park in Portland, Oregon, United States. It was designed by Robert Perron Landscape Architects and Planners and dedicated in 1988. The fountain's three water displays, which are regulated by a computer, are called "bollards", "misters", and "wedding cake".
According to Portland Parks & Recreation, the fountain can recycle up to 4,924 US gallons of water per minute through as many as 137 of its 185 jets. Salmon Street Springs is considered "interactive" and open from 6:00am to 10:00pm during the Spring, Summer, and Fall months. (Wikipedia)

This was the runner up for my 118 pictures "nutritious" entry. I liked the way the vegetables turned out better, and I think they are more nutritious anyway. But I like this one as well, so here it is. The star is a salmon filet braised in a bath of citrus jiuce (from one grapefruit, one orange, and 1/2 a lemon. Just bake at 350 (F) for 10 - 12 minutes, or until done, then spinkle on some paprika for color. You could garnish with a sprig of dill or parsley, and/or a thin lemon slice if you want to get fancy. The other items are green beans and linguini with a cheese sauce.
Huge Olympic Rings like steel cages amid the Fjords in Norway make for very intriguing & interesting subjects. You'll see eight or ten of these rings, each about 50 meters wide & I am told the same depth are made to farm Salmon in the sea. Each of these tanks, which are sheathed with HDPE material can carry some 2,00,000 Salmon. The fish farmers are pretty tech-savvy & remotely operate these huge fish farms with controlled Oxygen, temperature & fish health parameters.
Early fall is high time to watch salmon moving up Toronto's rivers and creeks, leaping over minor barriers before making their way towards habitat suitable for spawning.
Rivière à saumon
Rivière Ste-Marguerite
WIKIPEDIA: La rivière Sainte-Marguerite débute sa course de 100 km dans le lac Saint-Marguerite à une altitude de 678 m et de divers plan d'eau à l'ouest du Mont-Valin (785 m), dans la zec Martin-Valin. Elle coule ensuite en direction nord-ouest sur quelques kilomètres avant de tourner en direction sud-ouest sur 15 km et tourne brusquement vers le sud-est. Elle coule ensuite presqu'en parallèle la rivière Saguenay sur environ 60 km. En final de parcours, la rivière bifurque vers le sud-ouest pour un dernier 2,4 km avant de se jeter dans celui-ci dans la baie Sainte-Marguerite qui est située au niveau de la mer.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sainte-Marguerite River begins its course of 100 kilometres (62 mi) in Sainte-Marguerite Lake at an altitude of 678 metres (2,224 ft). This lake is recuperating water of many water bodies at West of Mont-Valin (785 metres (2,575 ft)), in the zec Martin-Valin.
Then, the river flows in north-westerly direction for a few kilometers before turning southwest on 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) and turns sharply to the southeast. It then goes along the Saguenay River on about 60 kilometres (37 mi). In final step of it course, the river turn toward South-West for a final 2.4 kilometres (1.5 mi) before flowing into the Sainte-Marguerite Bay at sea level. The entry of this bay (with a length of 2.7 kilometres (1.7 mi) and 1.3 kilometres (0.81 mi) of maximum width) is located at 25 kilometres (16 mi) (by the river) upstream of the Tadoussac ferry.

" Life is a privilege, and those of us who choose the path of creativity, may just be the most privileged of all." (Robert Genn)

Greetings from Salmon Arm, Sicamous and the Shuswaps!
I've been holidaying (only casually photographing) in British Columbia the month of August, and to say the change in topography by comparison with familiar prairies of Southern Alberta is drastic, would be shortchanging my description. I'm met with complete overwhelming visual information given the sheer scale and vertical dimensions. Seldom is anything flat and even those organic farming pastures are interrupted and buttressed by mountains, the summer greenery, orchards, crops, and lakes amazing. The transitions from place to place seem complex, my mind accommodated by "uninteRRuptus of landscape forms", understanding smoother changes between communities.
For those who live here, this is all everyday occurrence, and slowly I've come to the conclusion I'm wrapped in a cocoon of gratefulness for the experience and opportunity to photograph when the moment calls, and leave the balance to just inhale this new landscape. Undulating mountain ranges may become the new flatness in my world.

The main part of the glacier coming out of the mountains.
Wikipedia: Salmon Glacier, Stewart, British Columbia is North America's fifth largest glacier. It ends at sea level and reaches heights of 4300 ft.
The glacier shows a line of rock debris called a medial moraine running down the middle of the glacier. At various points there are lateral moraines along the banks of the glacier. The face of the glacier changes always with crevasses being created by the cross movement of the ice flow.
This spectacular glacier is located in Canada and can be accessed by road from Stewart, British Columbia from early July to late September.
Summit Lake is located at the northern end of the glacier and every year around mid-July the lake breaks an ice-dam and then flows under the Salmon Glacier into the Salmon River. This causes the river to rise approximately 4 - 5 feet for several days.

Hundreds of salmon congregate in a quiet inlet along the Stamp River prior to navigating the Stamp River Falls.

This is an image from my excursion with Chip Shotz several weeks ago. This was our last stop on the whirlwind itinerary and it seems really appropriate to both of us. We had a fun time, as always.
Some of you will, no doubt, recognize the color-making cloud (clouds) from images you made that evening. I know I saw a couple of my contacts that had a front row seat for it down near San Francisco. You can see some a page back on my "Favorites" bookmarks.
I had a number of similar frames but I liked this one for the way the wave motion obscures just the right amount of reflection of the sky.
Thank you for having a look!
