The Life Cycle of Salmon |
The famous Kenai River - world-famous for its fishing. This was
prime Sockeye Salmon season - the salmon are coming back to their
'birth' river to spawn (then they will die - they live about five
years in the open seas). |
No bait is used - - Salmon do not eat while returning to spawn. A
special "motion" is used to cast the line in to hook the salmon.
Sockeye are the 'filet mignon' of the four kinds of salmon. |
mama moose spotted right alongside the road, about five miles from
Dolly's home . . . she had two babies. Not knowing at that time that
I should be more careful of moose than even grisly bears, I got out
of the car and walked to within ten feet of them. Lucky for me, they
were more interested in eating the grass!

this is one of those babies |
I call this Rock Beach (for obvious reason). |
a bee feast |
Dolly warned me that Sonia would destroy the toy I bought for her .
. . I just did not know that she would do it in five minutes!!! |
Sonia is exhausted after her mayhem
