Fell behind

Well I just looked and realized it has been over 2 months since I posted!!! Wow when did life get so busy. Oh wait that is b/c work is busy, personal life w/ softball, island adventures and off island adventures. I wish I had some pictures to post today but a few weeks ago when down in Seattle, I left my camera at my brothers. I really don't have to many work pictures that I can add as I really haven't been taking that many photos this year. I don't know why just haven't. I do have some pictures from when we (Shaun and I) went off island, up to Beckler River and then out to SeaFair on a buddy of Shaun's boat. I will try to get those on here, if and when my brother sends me my camera, otherwise it will be awhile before I will be down to see him to get it back from him.

I hope life finds everyone happy and healthy.

An attempt to stay on top of things.

Okay Shocking isn't it? Posting again so soon, I figure maybe it will be easier if I actually keep up on it :). Weather has been back and forth one day rain, the next sun, rinse and repeat. Which can make getting some projects at work done a pain. Plus it can make for getting out and doing things can be a bummer from time to time. grrrr.. but we (Shaun and I) have been making the most of it. So here are some pictures from around and the hollow.

Saturday we took a lovely little walk out by the light house ridge; saw lots of pretty poppies.

Work work work... well you can tell this was a rainy day. Some of the Hawthorns are blooming.

He's in the deep stuff.. and the muddy stuff too!

3 little balls all in a row. These boys are good

Out fishing on the lake by John's. I actually caught me a little fish as well as a sunburn.

Shaun grabbed my camera... Punk :)

Back to work stuff.. Still a bit slower than normal but there are a few things to take pictures of.

banana slug at work, what a doozy!

The mallards are getting so big

Where have you put me??

a caterpillar down at coon cleaning area.

Our little LBB is getting feathers, we can now say it is a House Sparrow.

The coons are now taking trips outside.

Okay that is about it for now.. hope you have a good week.

It has been awhile...

So I will apologize, it has been a very very long time since I have updated here. I would have to say that life has got a bit busy for me (and I have been enjoying it greatly). So I will put up a few photos b/c well I have many many to choose from and that would just be a very very long post (meaning taking hours for me to upload them all.)

They are going to out of order so I will best to caption the pics.

Last weekend we did a little bass fishing on John's lake, I didn't catch anything while the men landed a few bass (John and his 2 1/2 lb bass).

Shaun and his 2 1/2 lb bass.

John's wife Janis has some lovely flowers this one catches the dew drop right in the middle.

A Hatchling Little brown bird, still has some growing to do before we know what it is for sure (I am horrible at baby bird id).

OOPs, sorry this is sideways thought I had it flipped before upload. 2 barred owlets.

Here is the lbb after just a few days, feathers coming in. Still don't know what it is.

Hooded Merganser baby, he was tiny and yes I did say was :(

Here is one of the other set of little brown birds we have... still not sure what they are, they thrill when you feed them.

Our Stellar Jay baby. S/he learned awfully quick how to eat on their own.

Still acts hungry.

Baby great horned owl outside in a mew.

I am scary!

2 baby barred owls, one has a quail leg.. yum.

Humming birds x4 at my feeder, 2 sitting on it, one flying in from the left, and one just below the feeder flying in.

Yum yum.

Most days they don't play nice and share.

Late day feeds means for more cooperation.

Apple blossoms at work.

rain drops on them.

more flowers from a paint job I have been helping Shaun on.

Oops, sideways again. more flowers from a paint job I have been helping Shaun on.

One of the squirrels we just recently released. He has a cashew and is hoarding it all for himself.

One of the fox kits we have in.

Baby Mallards, they look really different now, their big kid feathers are in.

This loon made an unfortunate parking lot landing. After picking him up, we put him in a tub to make sure he was waterproof, gave him the once over and sent him out for a release all within 2 hours.

And here the loon is flying away.

The baby great horned at admin.... fuzzy wuzzy.

a short tailed weasel we got into work.

little bitty raccoon babies having breakfast.

Some times they just need to be scruffed!

One of the barred owls when they first came in.

Once again baby great horned owl.

I will try and keep you up to date a little better. I didn't even get anything off my Nikon camera for this post, b/c I happen to put them in my folders and don't know what was new and old to all of you. I hope the weather is treating you well. Not to hot for the people it gets way to hot for and warming up for us that have been way to chilly.
