Winter in the forest

Posted on March 9, 2026 by cyetso

Turns out everything is green or wet. Or both…

County tells me we’re at Flood Stage 2, and the rivers are acting the part. Weather forecast says rain for the next ten days. Things will surely get wetter, not sure if they could get any greener.

Not sunny, but LOTSA Sunflowers

Posted on September 8, 2025 by cyetso

Harvold Farm planted a whole field of Sunflowers this year and made a sunflower-maze!

Kinda cool color on a grey morning –

Add in the red barn –

So many of them –

Some with bugs –

There’s always one smart-ass –

They’re ready for you to walk out an take a few home. Sweet corn, cucumbers and green beans too!

And, no, I’m not on the payroll. Yet.

New visitor to the house

Posted on July 14, 2025 by cyetso

Had a new visitor over the weekend –

He was none too impressed by us asking how many licks to get to the center of a Tootsie-Pop, so he promptly went back to his afternoon nap.

After the Jays had stopped yelling about his presence, the Coopers Hawk came around to discuss territorial rights and other such affairs of State. They agreed to disagree and flew off in opposite directions.

I think it’s a Barred Owl. Cool bird. BIG. Hope to see more of this one.

Last couple of weeks…

Posted on April 10, 2025 by cyetso

Busy of late, so not out taking many shots. Here’s a few from the last couple of weeks;

Skullduggery –

Crazy Spring storms brought CRAZY bright rainbows –

Went up to see the daffodils –

Tulips are showing a bit of color. Really, they’re a week or two out, these are just the overachievers –

We’ll go back next weekend for the tulips. And the brewpub. And whatever else we find.

Posted on January 13, 2025 by cyetso

Took this shot of the big ‘ol Moon, rising out in the valley –

Surprised it even turned out as well as it did.

Kindal cool.

Good work Moon.

That is all.

Store run

Posted on January 6, 2025 by cyetso

Had to run in to the Big City of Duvall for groceries. Spotted a couple of old friends…

Big blue was out looking for lunch. We were just hanging out –

And then he decided he didn’t like the company. Love how he just springs up and nails the throttle –

He doesn’t even care if the flight feathers hit the water –

That’s a lotta wing moving that bird –

And of course it wouldn’t be a day in the valley without our new National Bird hanging around. I think he just had lunch, thus the hiding up in the tree thing. Whatever, he’s in charge –

And that was that. Now to go make something out the groceries…
