in the clear creek
they swam
upstream
their colors a sight to behold
the ritual of
spawning
in deeper waters; an unedited artful image:
it was such a thrill to get to see them!

Oh Tammie, these are so special.
ReplyDeleteFantastic images, especially pic #1 . . .
red beauties, suspended over pristine creek pebbles.
Wow.
Can you catch and eat them? Wow! So clear!
ReplyDeleteyes Ces, as of this morning they can be caught and eaten. They are smaller than the salmon we see in the store... maybe 16" long. I got there before the fishermen (people) got to them. So Very Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteyes, a thrill you generously allowed us to share! This fed my spirit, sort of a Spirit Helper. Hey!
ReplyDeleteGlad we are friends

Incredible...what a beautiful sight! So glad I was able to get out and visit tonight. I've been catching up. Italy looks beautiful. Have fun with your family!
ReplyDeleteOh wow! did you catch one? That would be great! Be like Bear Grills. Just catch one and eat it! Heheheh! We love salmon. We only eat the wild ones. Used to order them for years from Alsaka by 50 pound shipment Now I can't afford them :(
ReplyDeleteI would catch them...
ReplyDelete:-(
I love fishing !
I would have to learn how to catch one Ces and Lily. I would eat them... I also only eat the wild ones.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! I've never seen them in person. Quite a sight!
ReplyDeleteYou were lucky Tammie to catch them.
ReplyDeleteGreat photographs.
Costas
Until you see them you forget just how pink they are. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI bet there were a few other fishermen up stream. These ones with claws and fur.
Gorgous pictures, as ever, thanks for sharing such a find with us.
Lovely waters shots and colourful salmon - such a pity to eat these beautiful creatures. I love seeing the details and colours in that first shot.
ReplyDeleteI would like some photos so beautiful but ... of the main street in Whitefish.

Your water shots are all so beautiful. So much color within that clear, clear stream. It makes me long to cup my hands and drink deep.

ReplyDeleteplease have a good new week ahead.
These are outstanding photos. It feels good to swim with these guys!
ReplyDeleteTL - this and the previous post are stunning. The clarity and apparent purity of the water are captured so beautifully by you. It seems I am there; but more that5 I want to be there and see what you see. Thanks. B
ReplyDeleteHi Tammie, what a wonderful job you've did here. Love the colors and even the salmon (to eat...sorry but it's my very very favorit dish). But looking at the fact that they've made the journey again full fills me with joy too.
ReplyDeleteHugs and be well my friend.

More lovely water and life Tammie.
ReplyDeleteI like this from Anand Dixit
Elements – Water
Water an elemental
Water a fundamental
Building block of life
Water of Life
Water of Death
Water in all religions
Water in all living things
Water in all countries
Water also used for barter
No life without water
No rife with water
No respect for water
Willful neglect of water
Water, for cooking
Water, for cleaning
Water, for drinking
Water, for living
Water, for dying
Water is the same
In all languages
Water is the same
To all living beings
Now, that is a sight to see. Are they red all year?
ReplyDeleteSuch a delight! lovely water and fish so colorful! :)
ReplyDeleteand I enjoyed your lovely photos in your previous post also! with the clear water and the beautiful stones!
Lovely day to you from me! :)
Wow, that first photo is surreal! They look as if they are floating in air. What a beautiful event to witness. It has intrigued me since childhood the journey that salmon take at the end of their lives. Wow!
ReplyDeleteWow, love this...
