Boys

Boys collecting dead salmon on the American RiverI spotted these two on a sandbar in the middle of the river this morning excitedly picking up objects and stuffing them into a sack. When I zoomed in to see what they were up to I saw they were collecting salmon carcasses. The salmon swim upstream every year to spawn and many die along the way. If you have never experienced the aroma of rotting fish corpses, let me tell you, it’s a malodorous stench. You can smell the dead salmon long before you even get to the riverbank. I would love to see what happened when these kiddos arrived home with their putrid bag of dead fish! 😀
