Sometimes we spend an occasional Sunday at “alterna-church” usually out in nature, tromping and exploring.  It’s difficult not to since we live in such a beautiful place and have two boys who love tromping and exploring.  Today was such a Sunday, inspired by the salmon spawning season.  We drove to the Tillamook Forest Center with the hopes of seeing salmon swim upstream, jump over hurdles… witnessing the last leg of their amazing journey home. 

We watched for jumpers, we checked the calmer pools for resters, but we didn’t see any salmon. 

We did see a miracle or two.
