含羞草研究社淭he thrill that含羞草研究社檒l getcha when you get your picture on the cover of the Rolling Stone含羞草研究社卟菅芯可鐫

The tune of Dr. Hook含羞草研究社檚 1970含羞草研究社檚 hit song, Cover of the Rolling Stone, was stuck in Valerie Rogers含羞草研究社 head when she learned her award-winning painting of a chinook salmon was on the cover of BC Outdoors magazine.

含羞草研究社淢aybe it isn含羞草研究社檛 as exciting as the cover of the Rolling Stone 含羞草研究社 but for a day I was humming that song,含羞草研究社 she smiled.

Rogers, from Salmon Arm, knew BC Outdoors was going to include an article about her, but not that her fish would be featured on the front.

Her chinook was perhaps destined for fame, after her painting, Rapid Ascent, was named in November 2022 as the Pacific Salmon Foundation含羞草研究社檚 winner of its Salmon Conservation Stamp Art Competition for 2023-24.

Fisheries and Oceans Canada issues the Salmon Conservation Stamp, which is purchased and affixed to the licence of tidal water anglers who wish to retain any species of salmon. Those who want to keep chinook purchase the chinook stamp.

Valerie含羞草研究社檚 spouse Neil subscribes to BC Outdoors magazine, so she saw her painting when his copy arrived in the mail.

含羞草研究社淚t came for him, so I have appropriated his. He含羞草研究社檚 like, don含羞草研究社檛 bend the pages,含羞草研究社 she said with a smile.

含羞草研究社淚t was a nice surprise,含羞草研究社 she adds. 含羞草研究社淚t is a privilege to see it there.含羞草研究社
