I absolutely love the clouds in that last one.

It’s been a weekend of rain and burst of sunshine, so everywhere I’ve gone, the clouds have been amazing. I am hoping for a less squally trip home. I’d like to stop more and take photos.

Do you still have lots of trout in your rivers, Su? Lovely country photos.

Thanks Leslie. I guess there must still be quite a few trout; recreational fishing is a big tourist business in the area.

They reintroduced salmon in some of our smaller rivers and they’ve done quite well.

How wonderful. I do worry sometimes that human invasion and manipulation of natural habitats will mean there is no wild food left.

Although, they were seeded, I would consider them wild because they aren’t being farmed.

I imagine they do that with the trout here. When the boy-child was younger we took him to visit a trout hatchery on that river.

They often replenish the trout in the streams here too. I guess our old rivers were teaming with all sorts of fish at one time.

It is so fascinating to follow the journey from a stream to the river and then to the sea. Beautiful images.

I did have a shot of the mountain that is the source of the river — but only I’d know it was there, it was so shrouded in cloud!

Isn’t it amazing. The river begins in clouds, runs to the ocean, evaporates to make clouds. A circle đŸ™‚

Very true; if only we humans could see that our whole world is a circle, we might have more respect for the environment that sustains us.
