Pretty in Pink

I thought I would change things up this week and display some different beautiful animals we have out there to discover.






There are two different species of flamingos above. Taken at the
Fort Worth Zoo.

Soaring Freedom

This majestic national treasure was at a breath taking close distance
off the park road at Ft Flaggler on the east banks of the Olympic
Peninsula. Once this bald eagle was ready to leave it's perch, he
spread his six foot wings and stepped off the branch to freedom
without a single beat of it's wings until he faded into the sunset.

Four-Legs of a Different Scale

It took a lot of patience to earn this lizards confidence
and respect that I wasn't a danger. I moved 10 feet in
about ten minutes to get the final closeup.







These were captured with my Tamron 90mm macro f/2.8 lens.

Fire & Rain

Chilly rain brings Suri inside to be lazy by a warm
glowing fire of a Lake Washington waterfront home.

message and get back to you later."—Mary Bly



"Thousands of years ago, cats were worshiped
as gods. Cats have never forgotten this."—Anonymous

Feline Fervor

You may not see it or feel it in these images, but
there is definitely some fervor going on. These
images were captured back in April of this year.



"I've met many thinkers and many cats, but the
wisdom of cats is infinitely superior." —Hippolyte Taine

Sophie Soothes

WE HAD THE privilege to bring Sophie into our home for three days while our neighbors we're out of town. After nearly three months since Rosie has left God's beautiful green earth we were so happy to have this sweet 11+ year old girl keep us busy while warming our hearts.

I must say, there were a few times she took my breath away when I would see her out of the corner of my eye and think, that Rosie was back. Even after turning my head and looking right at Sophie, I still thought she was Rosie for a split second.

I sure hope you enjoy these three days of joy and laughter
we had with Sophie!































Sophie sure lets us know when it's dinner time!

Dogs of Chelan

DeeDee and I traveled on holiday for five days to the
east side of the cascade mountains for some R & R.



These two beauties where waiting in a pickup while
mom and dad had breakfast at Blueberry Hill restaurant.




This is the delicious Blueberry Hill restaurant.




Harley is my favorite canine of Lake Chelan.
