112 - "Hyde Creek"


Here is what should be the final draft of my nature picture, "Hyde Creek".  Depending on how the print looks, I might make a few changes, but I expect that this is its ultimate look.

Hyde Creek is a few dozen meters from our back yard. It is a protected salmon habitat.  At most times of the year, you can expect to see fingerlings or fry swimming in the deeper, sheltered areas near the bank.  In fall, the adults return from the ocean to spawn and die. 

This is an amazing ecosystem, and I feel priviledged to be living so near to it.  I think this painting represents Hydre Creek nicely.
