Kokanee Salmon spawning

After several exhausting days of moving in, Grammy and Pop-Pop took off for a trip to Yosemite, and we spent an afternoon up at Tahoe to see the salmon spawning.  A short, beautiful hike led us to Taylor's Creek, where the bright red salmon had taken over.  The pictures don't do it justice - the salmon were there by the thousands, laying their eggs.  The ducks were enjoying a nice meal, but we didn't see any bears this time (though they usually make daily fishing trips to this area).

 We got to take a peek under the water...
And had fun on our nature walk.
