Look closely.
No, no, you have to look closer than that. Did you just see a waterfall with what appears to be a huge pumpkin sitting at the top? (It’s some sort of buoy, really.) Look at the far right, near the wall, where the water just starts to come down the second tier? Do you see him? Huge Mr. Salmon, jumping for his life? There were tons of them. The kids loved this – they were entranced and we finally had to pull them away before we all froze to death.
This was the beautiful scene the other way – it’s an old fishing village that dates to the 1850′s. The salmon were swimming through here, headed towards the falls.
And I couldn’t help but wonder how darn cold these people must get in the winter. Brrr! It’s a gorgeous setting, but once again reminds me that I am so glad to have not been a pioneer. I’m hardy, people, but not that hardy.
Happy Monday!

Love that salmon in the top phots – great shot! Thanks for stopping by my blog – looking at your profile we have quite a lot on common. I will be stopping by here again for sure!
Wow, I love the salmon! How cool!
You take awesome pictures! I loved the fish…great “catch”
I have to ask – is that Fishtown in Leland? That is one of my daughters favorite places to go when we’re up in the Leelanau Peninsula.
Anne – You guessed it! Isn’t it cool (and, now, cold) there?
I would have wanted to stand and watch too! how cool!
