Salmon Run

Friday, Veterans/Remembrance day held the adventure of braving the rains to see the salmon running....and well, yes, see them dying as well. I think we picked the only hour of the day that the rain was pouring down but nonetheless - it was worth it to see this amazing natural phenomenon. Though you can't tell in our pics there are tons of salmon swimming up stream in the water. But we captured the dead ones in full view. :) And then all these seagulls were sitting around with bulging stomachs too full to fly.We were amazed at how big the fish are, how many there are and how beat up they get during their mission to go up river, spawn and die.
