Vultures on the Notty

Salmon fishing yesterday with our good friends

on the Notty in Tracey's fishing boat.  Came

across at least a dozen turkey vultures circling and

diving from their perches in the tall cedars,

there was a dead salmon on the east bank of the river.



Weekend Country Bliss

 Tracey took this shot of a whitetail doe just beyond our backyard on Saturday morning. He said:"I love living in the country." She is looking straight at him!

Sora family update....

there appears to be one egg left to hatch as of today.

Mama coming back to the nest

One chick approaches the nest, there are about 5 of them darting about.

Snuggle time!

More flag iris...

The Notty has her summer face on.

Mayapple (or Mandrake as it's also known).

There are large swaths of Mayapple everywhere.

Humble Red Clover and Birdsfoot Trefoil

Ox eye daisies nodding to the Buttercups

I saw dozens of these tiny darting bright blue dragonflies.

Sunny Butter n' Eggs- love the name of these cheerful flowers.
