And are then food for bears and who know else. Yes the cycle of life.
ReplyDeleteYou are right S.C. There were plenty of dead ones in the river.
DeleteThe life cycle of these creatures takes my breath away.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't sound like a great life on any account. Do you fish for salmon in the rivers?
ReplyDeleteNot me Lowell. I'm hooked on photography.
DeleteInteresting to see them swimming upstream.
ReplyDeleteI've never witnessed this - sad but wonderful at the same time!
ReplyDeleteAnd I thought I was miserable for the many years I was single! This puts things in an entirely different perspective. Once again, we humans don't have it so bad, do we?
ReplyDeleteThey have amazing power to those bodies.. and incredible determination. I've watched, photographed and recorded them many times at the ladder in Bowmanville. They never cease to amaze me.
ReplyDeleteNeat capture, Andy!
