Mosaic Monday

 So tomorrow is December 1st. which makes me think about decorating the home for Christmas.  Not a lot to do these days so decorate it is.  This is a pic from last year.

December is when we have Eagles from the North come here to winter over 
My grand daughter is in Arizona doing her horse thing

Birds

Some of these shots were taken here at home and some on the drive around the Valley

Eagle in the Doug Fir tree right here at home

Trumpeter Swan
On a dark and dreary day Eagle pair were inspecting their nest.  
Another pair maybe going to build a nest---or not.  Really not the right time of year---but there they are
This Towhee was so sweet and posed for several photos
I was trying to get a pic of my bully bird friend---Stellar Jay--- but he buzzed off when he saw me through the window.
Hope everyone is having a good weekend

 Didn't do much today so I had oodles of time to go through some older photo files.  Found a couple of mosaics I made of my grand-daughter at High School Rodeo.

The first one is Goldendale,  Wa. high school rodeo

And this one is from Toppenish Rodeo.  That is Kylee in the center and on the right with her hair flying riding her good horse, Macaronie

Early Morning

 We don't see the Sunset because there are too many trees facing west for us to get a good view.  So we usually drive down the road chasing the Sunset.  But looking east from the house is a hill or small mountain called Mt. McMurray and we can see the sun coming over the hill---sometimes exceptional.

Here she comes saying Good Morning

Skagit Valley Signs

 Skagit Valley is a beautiful valley in Washington.   Beautiful farmland growing lots of potatoes, corn for cows, lots of seed crops and of course the glorious Tulips and Daffodils.




And of course our Post Office

Summer Deer

 I was looking through my photos to find some nice Critter ones for the Saturday meme.    I found some early Summer deer taken about 3 yrs ago.  This is out back just outside our woods.

Things to see in Conway, Wa.

 Conway is probably the closest town from where I live.  A sweet little town with a Post Office, Antique store and a great Pub/restaurant.  Oh and two gas stations each with convenience store, a Pot store and a beautiful Church called Fir-Conway Lutheran Church.

Sunset is a magical time---doesn't it highlight the Church wonderfully

A Picture of the church with Mt. Baker behind and a harvested corn field in front.  a Gray Jay, a Rainbow in our back field and a pair of Trumpeter Swan as they cruise through our Valley where they winter over.
An Eagle in the Doug fir across the road from our house and a real Blue Moon taken last night
