Two sailboats pass each other going opposite directions. As you can see, the one on the far side has quite a lean to it.
The sailboat in the foreground of the previous photo has pulled clear.
wild salmon in Cedar River, 10-18-11
wild sockeye salmon
I almost missed seeing these. I’d been here years earlier, perhaps at another time of year, and the whole river was just swarming with them. Many lay dead or dying on the banks. So, when I didn’t see such obvious signs of them, I almost missed them. I had to look carefully and patiently. At least, the sockeyes are a brilliant red color.
