The Sun

will shine again. I took this picture this morning from my deck, looking south. Do you see Mt.Rainier looming in the background? I think tonight we may have a nice sunset and if the mountain is out I see another photo op. I love my new camera.
Enjoy your day---I know I will mine. MB

Belly deep

I don't have much to say today. It's wet, cold and depressing outside and it seems to follow me right inside. Nothing worse than wet, cold and a sullen grand-daughter. I feel like this bird--belly deep. A note on the bright side I am going to take Bingo to training for some house manners. Maybe he will stop eating things. He is such a happy dog I don't want to change his nature. MB

More eagles

I wanted to stay home yesterday but I just felt like driving down in the valley and taking pictures of whatever I found. I found many geese, swan, hawks and of course EAGLES. My new camera does a good job I think. I put the zoom all the way out to try for a close-up and that is the last picture so it may be a little fuzzy. But So What!! We have had so much rain that all the fields are very wet, like underwater. The farmers cut furrows across their fields in the winter so the water won't just sit there but drain away. Eagles must love to get their panteloons wet. MB

In Memory

My youngest daughter, Jolene, wanted to put something together for her dad, so this is it. Since Dave had a military funeral and we got the flag that was on the coffin---this is what we came up with. Now I know the picture isn't the greatest--the frame is in front of a mirror and across from windows---I got lots of glare. We can even change the pictures across the bottom of the frame.

Presents

Look what my daughter in Eastern Wa. sent me. The little garden girl--isn't she sweet. So is my daughter. Another daughter gave me the chicken for my birthday awhile back. she is sweet too.
And not to be outdone, look what Mother Nature gave me. I took this wonderful picture on my recent road trip. Aren't the apples beautiful. YES!

Excuse me?

Who is NOT supposed to be on the bed.I am busy doing stuff and guess who decided the bed is the best place for a nap. uh-uh. First it was Jake and when I went to get my camera---Bingo appeared. They don't seem too afraid of me.

Day Trippin'

Well I went driving down in the Skagit Valley yesterday. It turned out to be a fairly nice day. We had a light dusting of snow in the morning and then dry except for a few sprinkles here and there and some rain but out here who's counting. i saw many of the wintering birds, Eagles, Snow Geese, Trumpeter Swan and different hawks. The Eagle on the left is eating a goose and the others are just waiting in line. I saw maybe 25+ eagles today. Lots of Heron were out too. Perfect weather for them. The tide was in and the rivers fat.
