River of Return

Captured at sunrise during the Salmon and Steelhead migration season, this image tells the story of return and the continuing life cycle. The American River, born in the Sierra Nevada and flowing to the Pacific, serves as a lifeline for spawning Salmon and Steelhead each fall. A lone fisherman stands in the misty glow, honoring the sacred rhythm of the waterway. The warm hues of dawn and the textured stones
beneath the current invite reflection on the proliferation of all
life on earth.
