I came across a curious scene the other day. We’ve had some young house guests for a few weeks. I’m not quite sure of the story behind this display. Captions welcome.

Happy Birthday Tasha
Today is Tasha’s third birthday. We celebrated with some retrieves and photos in buttercups with her buds.
Happy Birthday Tasha!
In our area, the first showing of wildflowers happens around Tasha’s birthday.

Head to Head Bliss
For the past several years, Tim has created a piece of art for the Education Auction at the Sierra Cascade Logging Conference Education Lumberjack Dinner.
This year we’re doing something different. We’re both creating art for the auction to go head to head raising funds for forestry education.
Here are a few images of “Food Chain” as a work in progress.
I’ll save the final piece for when it’s framed.

Spring storm breaks for a little rainbow bliss in my backyard.
Stalking Butterflies
I wrapped up Kinta stalking butterflies. Try as he might to catch them, the pipevine swallowtails were too quick for him. He is now six months old, a gawky age for a pup. His rabies titer is done and he will be clear to go home in September. We’re going to miss him around here. He’s full of play and snuggles.

Whimsday Bliss – My Backyard
Morning inspiration as the sunrise rises over our home, illuminating our view. I love where I live. Okay, I confess. This is a phone picture. I wanted to check out the panorama feature on the new phone. Angle of view…I figure about 270.
Whimsday Bliss – Stalking Butterflies WIP
As I started to wrangle my week under control, I slipped out on a break to snap some shots of the pipevine swallowtails. I had company. Neither of us got what we were after. Here’s a start to Kinta stalking butterflies on newly blossomed Blue dicks.
