Autumn Colours Advance on Byrne Creek
The recent rains in the lower mainland of BC have cast a chill upon the land, yet warmed my heart with excitement. Salmon will return to Byrne Creek soon.
It's a bit early, the first spawners are usually spotted in this urban creek in southeast Burnaby around mid-October, but the fish follow the rain, so you never know - and I couldn't wait to start looking.
I didn't find any salmon today, but the rain had begun washing the vibrant greens into reds, yellows, golds, and browns.
