[LEMONS] 1.02.2002
I haven't been updating much lately, but I promise to get things underway again now that the holidays and new year have passed. There were all kinds of things I wanted to post, but didn't. Most notably: our trip to Muir Woods.
I've been to Muir Woods a few times before, always with visitors from out of town, but I'd never gone during the winter. To my pleasant surprise, it turns out that Muir Woods is Coho country, and it just happens to be spawning season. In fact, Redwood Creek is the last (the last!) wild salmon run in California. Tragic. I had my camera with me, and I shot a couple of slips of the Coho making their way upstream. I'd never seen salmon spawning in the wild before, and it's a positively amazing sight. It looks hard on TV (or the electronet, in this case), but that's nothing compared to how difficult it looks IRL. In other words, the videos don't do the fish justice.
These are large files, and I didn;t take the time to embed them. So to download them, I'd suggest that you Control-Click (or right click if you have a pc, or multi-button Mac Mouse) on the link below and save the files directly to your hard drive. Otherwise, you'll have to wait for a while as they download.
