Okay, I know I have been slacking again.... I am sorry.... I have been working late and just, I guess being lazy about the things I love..... and having terrible work/life balance.

On the up-side I got my little camera back from the shop! It isn't dead!! Yay!! (The 50D went in for a spa day. I needs a good thorough clean.... since it hasn't been cleaning in the whole time I have owned it....)

AND MOM AND DAD are here to visit!!!!! Yay!!

Dad and I went on a little photo walk tonight. I used my PowerShot. (I need to learn how to use it correctly.... lol)

Oh and Inky is happy she has so many people around to pay attention to her! She is zonked out....

Have a great night!!

It was a very cool day. It was a nice break from the heat. I think these bumble bees were caught out in the cold. (at least I hope that is why they were very lethargic!) I offered them some water, they eventually flew away.

This one didn't seem able to put her tongue back in her mouth.

There was also a lady bug!

More wild teasel was blooming. It certainly is a strange plant....

There was a thistle:

a daisy:

and Queen Ann's Lace (Daucus carota, at least I think it is.....)

And hooray! Our friend Ian came for a visit! He moved to Portland about a month ago. It was good to finally see him!

We continued our cousin adventure today! We went hiking on Cooper Mountain.

These are of the wild iris that grow on the mountain!

This was probably one of the smallest snakes I have ever seen. It was smaller then a pencil!

We also went to Rood Bridge Park and saw the frogs at the pond.

So Olof can do this....

The fence post was a little easier.

And we celebrated Joel's birthday!!!! Yay!! Happy Birthday Joel!  I love you!

Hope you have a great night!!

Went out to Summer Lake Park this morning.

The little birds were out and about.

I would love help identifying this one!

There were even flowers and a bee!

And a rusty thing.

Hope you have a great night!!
