This is the day in August that I had my colonoscopy. It was an absolutely beautiful day and Ray convinced me that we should get in the car right from the digestive center and take a drive to Coopers Landing because he heard from the guys on the slope that the Reds were running. Salmons are a fascinating breed of fish. Hopefully you can see the red in the water. As they make their way from salt water to fresh water and their breeding grounds, they bodies change color (notice the green head) and some get a hook nose and hump back. Pacific salmon die after they spawn and it creates a whole ecosystem. I had fun just sitting in my lawn chair watching them spawn. Ray was fishing for Dolly Vardens and trout that follow the Reds up to their spawning grounds. We stopped for the sunset on the way back to Anchorage and you can tell it was worth the wait. Plus we were treated to dall sheep on the slopes on the drive back. Alaska really is a beautiful place.
