We noticed several trees already changing colour and could feel that autumn was just around the corner.
Logging is still a big part of the economy in the area, and this barge, holding four fully loaded logging trucks, was an impressive sight. It was interesting to see the work that goes on in our province. We are very much a resource-based economy, focusing on logging, mining, and fishing.
Today was a home-keeping day - laundry, a bit of cleaning, and baking bread. My youngest daughter, Ashley, and Iris and Cora spent the afternoon and we enjoyed a little tea and cookies together.
This evening we're watching Dr. Blake, a mystery series set in Australia, on our public broadcasting station, and enjoying a cup of tea alongside.
Great shot of the salmon! There is an effort here to bring them back to our streams and rivers too.
ReplyDeleteIt is a thrill to see the salmon in your photo! A blogger taking the picture makes it more real.
ReplyDeleteOh I haven’t come across Dr Blake this side of the pond. I dare say it will eventually make its way over. That boat with the logging lorries looked intriguing. B x
ReplyDeleteHi Lorrie~ I love seeing the beautiful photos you take! That Salmon just stands out so beautifully against the white water, great photo! Those logging trucks on the barge are very impressive, that barge must have been huge...very impressive! Have a great Saturday. Hugs, Barb
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures! Always so nice visiting your lovely blog...
ReplyDeleteHug, Titti
What fun to find such a terrific surprise in your photo!
ReplyDeleteAutumn comes earlier in the North, I suppose.
ReplyDeleteAnother show to look for! Always on the look out for new shows to watch, on tv and on streaming!

I have to look up the Dr. Blake series! I love those shows! Great pictures. We haven't had much color here yet---very late for us this year. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteWe enjoyed the Dr. Blake series. That's nice you took the time to connect with your Aunt.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot of the salmon swimming upstream. We were in Wells Gray Park during salmon run one year and were so impressed by the efforts the salmon had to make to get up the different falls.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot of the salmon! We enjoy the Australian and English series we've watched, and are looking for new ones. I'll have to check out the Dr. Blake series.
ReplyDeleteWe liked Dr. Blake! What a great visit that must have been!
