You know how much I enjoy the close ups on my camera. Even with the regular lens, I get great images. Like each individual owl on the totem pole.
From bottom, going up.
I’ve seen bears and eagles, it’s nice to see owls.
What sewer or quilter wouldn’t want to live on Bernina Dr?? I know, it’s a region and a tunnel in Switzerland, but really the only people who recognize that name are those of us who sew!
Huge pinecones. Not all the pines died in the beetle blight of a few years ago. There are some trees here that produce giant pine cones. I saw them all over town, it was nice to see them on a tree looking out of our balcony.
Dead tree stumps always fascinate me.
As well as the live bark that was peeling off this tree. The old bark is a red brown, the new tree underneath is bright green. It will probably darken as soon as the old bark falls off.
We stopped to see an old Fire Tower on Strawberry Hill. Although a sign said it is open from 9-5, I guess that didn’t include weekends. A lot of radio towers around. As well as a cute couple from Australia who took a very nice family photo of us.
