The other day Taylor and I went looking for adventure, and we found a literal mother lode of cranberries! One of the hills next to our place is crawling with low-bush cranberries, also called lingenberries. Already I've made cranberry-orange relish and cranberry-blueberry bread, but I haven't even begun. I picked a whole gallon in only one hour! I never really liked the taste of them before, but fresh ones, with lots of sugar, are so good.
We've also spotted loads of animals lately- which isn't odd at all, but the good thing is that we've had our camera ready. So, here are pictures of moose and sandhill cranes and sockeye salmon:
These cranes were doing a sort of dance, and we think they might have a nest right there because they haven't moved from that location in a week or so. But it seems awfully late to be starting a nest, so we could be wrong:
Taylor saw these spawning sockeye when he went fishing at Quartz Creek:
Taylor declared that his day of fishing at Quartz with our friend Drew was the greatest day of fishing he's had in many a year. Here is a huge Dolly Varden trout he caught (and then released, of course):
