salmon mark blig’s 1-year anniversary
Loyal and attentive reader J. congratulated the blig on it’s one-year anniversary a few days ago (thanks for noticing!). Looking back to it’s beginning in November 2006, the fourth-ever posting was ambushed-by-chum. This morning we (S&F accompanied by friends J&P, R and C) returned to the scene of the chum where I’ll be danged if they weren’t back at it again, swimming upstream in the creek to lay and fertilize their little eggs. The fish were too quick for my trigger finger, so instead of a picture of spawn-frenzied salmon I offer you the above photo of frost-encrusted leaves near the banks of the creek.
