In the wild, you have to look fast. In a photo, you have to look close.

And note the ones standing in the river, just waiting for a passing fish.

 

 

 

Almost like a miniature Zen garden.

Remember that raging stream a few weeks ago? These river herring known as alewives are less than a foot long and charging against the current to their breeding grounds in lakes upstream.

Good morning! It must have been really spectacular down at the Breakwater.
