I mean it

I tried for the longest time to upload a photo for this blog and blogger just said NO! So I tried another picture--no luck so I was ready to blow my stack--seemed perfect. It worked!! MB

Shopping

Very nice Trading Post. Lots of native made items. A whole section devoted the olden handicrafts. Right now there is a collection from British Columbia. Baskets, woven bottles, masks, dolls and coastal Indian art --older and newer items. Amazing. The Swinomish Reservation is not too far from from where I live. MB

Morning glow on tree

This tree is just on the edge of the back pasture. I was out feeding the goats and watching the sun rise when I caught this glow. The sunrise was pretty but so was this. MB

How I spent my Summer ~~~~My Tuesday

Not last summer but for 3 summers I have spent part of the time at a lookout tower in the southern Oregon wilderness. Once it was oh so hot and another so very cold and rainy and another so windy the whole tower swayed thither and yon.
1. The Lookout
2. A view to the west. When it is clear you can see mountains and all the way to the Pacific Ocean. but here it looks like we are on top of everything.
3. The little road to the out house where you have the best view ever. Leave the door open--there's nobody else around.

10 days later.
I took this today after a huge rain and wind storm. very short though. It came in and went out like ZAP!! and then the sun came out.

Petroglyphs

These petroglyphs are located at Vantage Washington along the Columbia River. At one time there was an Indian village and campground at the rivers edge but it was covered when the Wanapum dam was built. I remember as a kid hanging over the cliffs to see the paintings. They were saved and replaced at the park.
The area around Vantage has been occupied by the Wanapum tribe of Native Americans. About 60 Wanapum still live near the present day site of Wanapum Dam....
The site where these petroglyphs were found was inundated by the rising waters behind Wanapum Dam.

Trapped Hummingbird

This poor little Hummingbird was stuck up in the skylight on the front porch. I am happy to say he finally freed himself.
