Here we are almost at the middle of the alphabet.
I'm sure you KNOW the letter for Wednesday is " K ".
These KIDS are KIN to each other and we had a
difficult time KEEPING UP with them to take a picture.
Since they weren't KITH or KINFOLK to us,
we only wanted to photograph them from behind.
What were the KIDS so KEEN on seeing?
KOKANEE Salmon were spawning in Taylor Creek at Lake Tahoe.
I got a KICK out of watching the amazing red fish
expending their last bit of energy to go back to their birthplace.
They will lay their eggs and come to the end of their lives.
It makes me wonder how they can KNOW where they were hatched and return to the same spot.
The ducks seem to have an inate KNOWLEDGE of when and where
the eggs are layed and then they will have some gourmet meals.
Duck Caviar...... or is it KAVIAR????
This last week has been so wonderful.
Bev and I are truly KINDRED Spirits.
We KINDLED a friendship through blogging and finally got to meet.
Can you imagine? She traveled all the way from Florida just to visit with me.
Bev and I haven't stopped talking and comparing our lives for a full week.
My Hubby KEEPS KIDDING us about being sisters.
We have so much in (K)ommon.
Its been a great Highlight of having this blog and finally meeting a dear friend in person.
KUDOS to Mrs. Nesbitt for beginning this fantastic ABC Wednesday.
(K)lick on her name on the sidebar to see what others have posted for the letter K.

Love your K's... And especially love meeting your blogger friend from Florida. I feel honored I will get to meet you in October.
I love that you got to see your friend : )
You two DO look like sisters, what a great picture! I love the shot of the salmon under the water.
Great post. Your ABC posts are great fun to read and the photos are great too. so wonderful you got to meet your internet freind. Johnina :^A
j'aime bien la premiere photo avec les petits curieux qui regardent dans la riviere
Oh yes - meeting up with blogging friends is so much fun - who knows one day more of us may meet up. It would be great to have an ABC Wednesday convention - but alas there are so many of us - which is a good thing - still we all connect here weekly! Great stuff!
Thank you, Sue, for your visit my site! I have had very happy summer with children`s family but of course also busy :)
It is really nice thing that you meet your blog friends.
I use still my slow mobile connection in the summer cottage and photos open very very slow.
I wish good Tuesday to you, Sue!
love the photo of you and Bev, and so glad you are having a great time together. sometimes we just click with someone and it sounds like you two did. tell her she missed that sunrise, it would have been the same view from the middle of her street
Wonderful picture of the two of you. Both alike and both smiling!
I love your K post today, and the excitement of meeting a blogging friend, how great. I like the picture of the Kids leaning over the fence watching the salmon. That must be an exciting time watching the salmon. How fortunate you are to live where you get a first-hand look at them.
Have not heard of a Kokanee Salmon. So glad that you and Bev had such a great time.
Isn't it fun to meet fellow bloggers? I've been able to meet several and it's great! Such a fun post for the K Day! And your photos are delightful as always! Enjoy your week!
Sylvia
you are not a photowannabe.. u r a "photo-am"!! :D lovely shots!
Mine Is Here
The kids in the photo look so kute.
Love the salmon picture. I always wonder how they find their way back (and I'm slightly creeped out by the way they change when breeding season comes around).
I wouldn't have thought it possible to get that many "K"s - the Kokanee win with me.
I think this is so neat. Bev and I have been blogging buds for awhile. We "met" because we share a name.
What a great post for the letter K. Fun meeting a blogging friend and good shot of your two. I love the shot of the kids.
Lovely post for the K. Lots of K's in it!! :)
Loved the photos! Especially you two electrifying friends and the cute bunch of kids!! :)
What a beautiful K post!
Glad that you have such a nice time with your friend, lovely picture!
hugs

Sue, We are on the same wavelength with kith and kin. Loved your assortment and especially your report on your kindred spirit, Bev!
The capture of the 3 young ones on the bridge is precious!
How wonderful to meet one of the blogging friends! Have a great time. Beautiful "K"'s!
LOVE LOVE LOVE your posts and your style! This story was just full of K words and fun stuff. Kudos on making a new friend! Have a wonderful week! :D
Klick, indeed. great as usual.
Which is why when someone gave me some very strange Internet award, I passed it onto you. pls feel no obligation.
ROG, ABC Wednesday team
Wow ! I didn't realize that there were so many words with K ! what a selection !
You even look alike! How lovely for you to meet.
This post had me smiling and giggling! Duck kaviar indeed!

Great Ks and how wonderful that you have met a blogging friend!
Wonderful that you and Bev had such a good time seeing the sights, and talKing!!
I had no idea there were Kokanee spawning that far south, because I remember them from Lake Okanagan in BC where I grew up. I also knew they could be found in Washington State, but I didn't have a clue about Lake Tahoe.
So of course I had to resort to Google, and find there are landlocked sockeye salmon (aka Kokanee) in many parts of the US, including New York.
Learn something new every day. Thanks, Sue!

How great is that, that you can connect with a blogging friend and be such kindred spirits!

Amazing images. Second one is my favorite.
I love all your photos. They are wonderful!
Thank you for sharing with us a bit of your world.
Lovely post - especially like the Kokanee and that you have had the chance to meet your Kindred spirit.
This post should be labelled "F" for friendship! What a delightful experience to have with a fellow blogger who will forever be a friend. PS. I launched my ABC Wednesday too early but now hav the correct K on my blog; come see; you'll like it!
Great K's and very (k)reativ post :)
Well done!!
K is for...
This is fantastic! Great post and a meeting with a cyber friend in the flesh. Doesn't get much better than that.
What a K post! Didn't you miss the Kitchen sink, though? :-D
Thanks for the visit to my blog. I've been playing for a while but had never registered my blog here, go figure! I was just doing it for my friend Wanda and Chris as they always play. Love you K article and pictorial. Will be back to visit.
Such a great post for "K" week! Loved all your photos.
Thanks for visiting my blog, and have a wonderful week!

Great photos and 'K's. We got to meet a fellow blogger last year in Norway. That was fun!

I really like the shot of the ducks and the colorful fish. Right place an the right time! You and your friend look like you are having a great time together.
Great Ks and lovely photos too.
Lovely post! How wonderful to meet your blogging friend :-)
Love your K and cs. My students and I struggle to tell the different between K and C.
We have a giant park here with lots of ducks. I have not found a single nests.
Maybe you were separated at birth! How nice for both of you to meet. Another perk with blogging!

You always do a brilliant job of your ABC posts. I think the Kidlet shot is adorable and it's so Kool that you got to meet a Ko-blogger and you do indeed look like sisters. Great photos as always. Geesh.. I Kan't take Kredit for a single true K word. ;)
Oh what fun to meet a fellow blogger, and to think that she came all the way from florida to see you! marvellous!
I have met one of my blog friends when he and his wife flew through toronto airport on their way to australia, and it was such an interesting experience.
Maybe we will meet some day!!!???

thanks for visiting!
I love the first one and the last one!
That is great that you got to meet.
I have had the pleasure of meeting Beverly (and being with her twice) and I know just what you mean. I think it is great that she offered and you agreed - and found a lifelong friend!!
What a fun gathering to meet Beverly! The internet sure has made the world smaller! Hope you have a great week!
