Lunch break at Lower Russian Lake. I took the group, a family of three generations, to the falls to watch the sockeye salmon spawning in the river and then we hiked an additional three miles to the lake where we are now lounging on the beach after lunch. Some of the group took the canoe that is at the lakeside forest service cabin out for a paddle on the glass like waters while the rest of us are napping on the dock and gravel at the waters edge. The sky above is a cloudless blue, loons on the lake edge echo their haunting call across the water and four bald eagles are circling overhead climbing higher and higher into the sun filled afternoon sky.
