Continuing with my hike and camera practice at Saint Paul’s Mission:

I tried a few camera settings while taking photos of the eagle.  I didn’t hit on the right combination but I enjoyed the time with this magnificent (and very patient bird).

The reflections in the lake were wonderful!

Fort Colville  (Fort Colvile) would have been where you now see the drawn down river in the photo below.

The only large gravestone left is pictured below.  There are a couple of rusted metal markers.  That is all.  None of the other gravesites are marked now.

I missed another perspective opportunity by not taking a photo of this ant hill in its entirety.  This is a very large colony!

The Oregon Grape is in bud.  Soon there will be yellow blossoms growing wildly all over the area.

Meantime, back home in the garden, the daffodils cheer everybody up!

It’s About the Blooms

Earth laughs in flowers. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

The intent was there.  I really meant to get the weeding done.  And I did.  A little.

But then there was the retreat. 

And it has been raining ever since I got home.

So…for those who asked…and for those who didn’t…more of what’s blooming in my garden.
