Couple of amusing sidelights.....

from our eagle watching trip. We've stopped at the restaurant a couple of times and every time we enter we have to chuckle over this sign. We finally had a camera with us to capture it.

Hmmmmm.....

The reason for this photo, is the name of the Honey Bucket company. It is the "Wizard of Ooze" We had a couple of chuckles over this.

We went to Skagit County to.......

see the eagles that migrate there every year. We saw about 15 in two different locations. There is one in the tree in the picture below. After this we drove over to a spot in LaConnor were the snow geese congregate each year at this time. That is a spectacular sight. There are thousands of them and the sound is quite loud. They all have something to say, I guess. When something startles them they all will take off at the same time. When the sun hits their wings, it looks like a sky full of confetti. We didn't take pictures as it is very hard to capture just how awesome this is, unless you have a powerful camera. Some things you have to commit to memory.

Dad goes snow shoeing

Dad and his friend Frank, went up to Snoqualamie Pass on Saturday to test out their snow shoes for the first time this season. They had a beautiful day and were very excited to be going. They went with several people and had a great time. Beautiful weather for the first time in quite a while.

Very Pretty
