Cool Nature Photos

About a 24" +- Salmon. White line is the top of its fin sticking out of the water.

Wife and I were walking along this little 4-5' wide creek and there were salmon at about every gravel pocket, and under every log.

We maintain some hiking trails and blew them off today. Can you say red-n-yellow! The canopy here is about 95% down. I tad of Canadian yew is seen at the bottom.

We spent four weeks in Moab last year and drove down to Monument Valley one day, which is in Utah and Arizona. This is on the way, just a cool stretch of road that we thought would make a cool picture. We weren’t the only ones, this same stretch of road was in the movie Forest Gump. When he was running across the country and just suddenly quit one day, it was filmed here.

More pics of Canadian Yew. This stuff grows like weeds here and seen some of this "ground conifer" 5ft tall.

Moss, just want to tell you i saw your salmon.

Thanks!

It was a really nice and unexpected find. I know the salmon and trout come up the St. Joe River from St. Joseph, MI on Lake Michigan all the way to Mishawaka, IN. I suspected they came up McCoy Creek in Buchanan, MI. I did not expect them to come up this little side creek at all, but there they were. Beautiful.
