Salmon: Spirit of the Land and Sea
View allAll Photos Tagged salmon
Brown bears are many things when it comes to eating ... proficient fishermen, skilled prep masters, efficient consumers ... but when it comes to being tidy eaters, well maybe not so. This boar is wearing the proof for that statement. Quite the messy eaters for sure. Just love it when that get that "salmon mustache" thing going on and are in need of a napkin or two. No worries though because as soon as they are done with one, they make their way back to their preferred fishing spot and start fishing for another and in the river they clean off naturally. :-)
Happy Sunday everyone!

This grizzly is successful at grabbing a salmon at the top of Brooks Falls. It looks like this bear has been in a recent tussle given the wounds to it's face and neck. Bears will fight for the best positions at the falls.
Traveler's from around the world come to Brooks to get their dose of bear experience ;)
Taken 26 July 2019 at Brooks Falls, Alaska.
This is a nice salmon colored boathouse with a comfortable looking bench. Why is the color salmon everywhere I look this year? Maybe I need to have my eyes checked. Maybe it is just tan with a little pink in it ... but that’s salmon, right?
Anyway, it was a nice day to be out in the boat. It was choppy but the temperature was so pleasant.

I hadn’t checked what the MM theme was until late Saturday night by which time I’d already taken a series of shots on the river with the salmon jumping.
There are a few more shots but this is probably the closest that I have.
Obviously too big for a M theme but following the thread loosely.
Thanks for stopping

A salmon jumps out of the ocean in the Inner Passage of Alaska. I noticed that some of the salmon in the water would randomly push themselves out of the water. It was difficult to predict when a salmon would come out. As soon as I saw a splash or fin at the top of the water, I pointed my lens toward it, and hoped for a shot like this. If you look carefully, there is a bite mark on its side. I wonder if a seal tried to catch it?
This young brown bear was playing with its food and kept tossing the salmon and then catching it again :-). Very entertaining to watch!

With so many salmon around, these bears got to be choosy and eat the best parts of the salmon and the leave the rest.

My first attempt at trying to photograph Salmon leaping however I feel I have still a lot to learn it was very tricky ! Seemingly this is a Brown Trout not a Salmon shows you how much I know about fish lol!

A whisper of Salmon Salad had us dropping what we were doing, reaching for our cameras and going out the front door in a rush.
So I took a photo with my phone while we were at the Salamon Salad spot this afternoon - a nice bright sunny habitat shot ... here is what the Olympus 15 in camera stack made of this beautiful and unusual fungi growing in a spot where you just wouldn;t expect to see it ... it seems its not too fussy whether its growing with conifers or deciduous or parkland ....
Two salmon have misjudged the ladder on the Bowmanville Creek and landed on a ledge but is easy for them to thresh and wriggle their way back into the river.
Thank you to everyone that favs, comments and visits my photo stream. All are very much appreciated.
Taken in 2019 at Stainforth Force near Settle.
The number of Salmon have become less year on year ever since.
