Cat tails!



Peek-a-boo!

Woody Woodpecker!

This pileated woodpecker was on the telephone pole near our house - such a beautiful bird!

Dessert!!

Riley picked out some dessert at the store for us today. Riley decided that we each needed our "own" little carton of Ben & Jerry's, so he picked out each of our faves - Half Baked for me, Karamel Sutra for himself, and Cherry Garcia for Ed.

We discovered a new park near our house today that had wonderful hiking trails through an old growth forest. There was a sign at the entrance saying there had been a recent bear sighting, so to be sure to keep your dogs on a leash. We made sure to make lots of noise, cuz we didn't want to startle any bears! There were lots of different kinds of mushrooms in these woods, so I captured a few with my camera. Awesome park - we plan to go back next weekend!

Ed's:

We all went for a brisk walk down to the beach today - a beautiful evening. Along the way, Riley found a caterpillar which became his pet for the duration of our walk. He finally released him back to its natural habitat so it could continue its life journey.

Mt. Rainier was in her glory tonight!


Riley's "pet":


Riley's nose was cold, so he used the headband I had in my pocket to keep his nose warm - worked like a charm!


The clouds were amazing!
