Salmon in the Salmon River

So I’ve been having lots of fun with my new iPod, taking pictures and even shooting video of various things. The above was taken on a hike a couple of weeks ago. Raf and I went up to one of our favorite hiking spots and saw Salmon spawning! I’d never seen Salmon swimming around in their element before. I’ve eaten plenty of them, but have never seen one alive. It was beautiful and awesome. And not awesome in the vernacular sense. Awesome in the “nature is so breathtaking” sense. We sat on the riverside and watched them for awhile and felt so incredibly blessed to be there at that moment to see it.

We went for a beautiful hike in the Columbia Gorge last weekend and, of course, I had to take a picture of some of the flowers growing there. I decided that I needed to start identifying these flowers that I take pictures of. I spend time admiring them I should take the time to learn their names. It’s the least I could do. So I did a little sleauthing and found that this particular one is Oaks Toothwort.

I totally forgot to post a Photography Friday last week and I actually had one to show you! Raf’s parents came to visit us two Sundays ago and we had the best time with them! The day was absolutely gorgeous, for once. We took them to one of our favorite local parks, Wildwood and walked the Streamwatch Trail. The wildflowers are blooming in the forest here in Oregon, despite the few flurries of snowflakes we’ve been experiencing. It’s really beautiful. I’m looking forward to the day when I can get back up to the Pacific Crest Trail on Mt. Hood and see the glorious lupines.

Photography Friday: Oregon Flowers

I finally felt compelled to take my camera with me on a hike last weekend. It’s spring in Oregon and there are flowers starting to bloom in the forest. It’s lovely. Now that it’s getting nicer (and raining less) I will probably take more pictures. I haven’t really been in the mood for photography for months. The reason, most likely, being that it’s always rainy and dark here. Water and DSLRs don’t mix so much.
Other scattered thoughts:
- if you follow me on other sites you might already know that I’m thinking about ditching Facebook. I go back and forth on it. If I ever get a chance, I will write up a blog post on it.
- Thanks for your lovely comments about my poem. It was kind of scary to put it out there like that but the positive feedback really took some of the edge off. I’ve been having fun recording videos. Again, scary to do but nice to get out of my comfort zone a little.
Happy Friday!
