July 23 photo of the day

Tumwater Falls Park on the Deschutes River is just a couple of miles from my office. It is a delightful place to take a picnic lunch, then walk off the cookies on the trail that is accented with falls that drop into the River below. There is a set of fish ladders built in the 1950s to get king salmon upstream to spawn in the fish hatchery and allow fry to head downstream.

More photos are on my website. Photos of spawning salmon and the old Olympia brewhouse in winter are on my ImageKind gallery.
