The Sunday Challenge: Transitions Our leaves are beginning to turn as evidenced by the leaves turning from deep green to yellow. We had an unexpected transition that has come far too early (two days before autumn began) in the year, snowfall. Fortunately, it was just white rain as it only lasted a moment.This photo was taken from my doorstep.

This fish is one of many that have come to the spawning grounds for the Kokanee salmon in late August. A photo of the spawning creek is in a note. The Kokanee are landlocked and do not go to sea. They live their entire life in Kootenay Lake and in the rivers and creeks that feed and drain the lake.

My wife saved these two dragonflies today. They got too amorous and fell in the lake. She went in and scooped them out in her hands. This one flew off after a rest on her hand and the other was still drying out when we left.

For the Sunday Challenge: Polka Dots. Well, these are not exactly polka dots but one could compose their own polka with these dots. I was drawing a blank for polka dots this week until my wife took out this teaching aid she uses with her music students.
