Salmon swimming

Bristol Bay sockeye salmon are returning en masse and making their way upstream to find a mate. But in order to spawn successfully, these fish undergo a complex and dramatic freshwater transformation.

#spiritsays: Even with all you know, there are days you still swim upstream. Some just love the challenge of it and, even more, the purpose behind it. ✨✨ #purpose #passion #excitement #determination #challenge #intention #fruition #achievement #goal #completion
