As It Happens

My husband loves to go fishing around here on Vancouver Island and well usually I am taking pictures as he is fishing. Often, the salmon will jump out of the water and many times I try to capture them in "action" and many times my images of these amazing fish jumping out of the water look more like the "big splash"!
In late October I took a random shot of the seagulls on the shoreline at Nile Creek. The waves were coming in strong and the wind had picked up. It was a real fall day. Later when I got home and loaded the images onto the computer to my surprise here was a really big salmon that had jumped really close to the shoreline.
Unbelievable! To be honest neither one of us saw it happen at the time but it was sure great to see in the image later. See they do jump out of the water!
