Salmons are back
October again!
Autumn leaves swirling down, autumn rains pouring down, in the chilliness, salmons return to their homeland.
Amazing, after years in the ocean, they remember their home.
It is a joy to see them coming back, also a sorrow to see them go.
The mystery of life.
One year we drove all the way to Salmon Arm to see salmon return. When we got there the locals were perplexed that we should come all the way for nothing because the salmon would not return in two years time. We headed back to Vancouver, and had to spent the night mid way. We found a small lakeside village by the highway and decided to stay for the night. The motel was clean and quiet. Chase Lake was beautiful in the evening. On the way back it started to snow in the mountains. We eventually saw salmons at Weaver Creek, in pouring rain.
