Think Salmon: the great update on what's been happening

I know, I know. You haven't heard from me much lately. I've been remiss. I've been busy. I can't promise it won't happen again but I can promise that I'll offer you something worthwhile when I return. Like this:

For the past few months I've been working with Pacific Salmon Foundation on a website project they're doing with the Fraser Basin Council called Think Salmon. Last weekend the Duck and I travelled to the Adams River as part of that work. And we saw an incredible natural phenomena: the return of the sockeye salmon.

I've written up our experience in 3 parts, titled collectively Chasing the Sockeye.

• Part 1: From Vancouver to Hope
• Part 2: From Hope to the Shuswap
• Part 3: Finding the Adams River Sockeye

But wait, there's more! We also took heaps of photos of our trip. The photos are available at the Think Salmon Flickr photostream or at herself's Flickr photostream.

So it's not like I haven't been doing things. I've been doing stuff. I just haven't been keeping my good friends at Up in Ontario abreast of those things.

And yes, I know. I know that she's been doing a much better job than me with her posts on the Adams River sockeye run, why salmon are interesting, and, most of all, with her damned awesome salmon run video. But it's not a competition!

And besides, we're into halfers on everything we do and own anyway.
