Seafair happened

Couple of weeks ago actually. Chamber of Commerce weather. Went down to the end of the runway to take in the sights.

F35. Headed right at us just off the ground and right over our heads decides to go STRAIGHT up! Absolutely nuts. And probably caused some hearing loss –

Then the Blue Angels took off in formation with Rainier in the background –

They went over the winery in their diamond formation –

And then gave a final buzz over the winery as they landed –

Good fun with good wine and good people.

New neighbors

Down at the farm, they moved the alpaca a couple weeks ago and moved in 3 cows. Personally, I like the alpaca better, but whatever. But then this little guy showed up –

Only 3 days old! Cute little bugger.

His roommates –

Well, that’s it from the farm this week. We’ll check in with our new neighbor Hamburger (I named him) later this month.

Hiya moose

On the way to work, 10 after 5 in the morning so still pretty dark, ISO is cranked WAY up. It gets a tad grainy, but you get the idea.

First he poses –

20 seconds later, he’s heading for the exit –

And then he’s gone.

Boys have separated from the girls and are hanging out the other field for the time being. In a couple of weeks, they’ll invade the old horse track. I hope to get better shots of that this year.

Some of the neigh-bors

This one lives down the street from Jack –

Wile E looks upset that I interrupted his pursuit of the Road Runner –

Spotted them on the way home the other day.

Fun stuff.

Look ma! No mirror.

We were supposed to go visit Mom-n-Pop, but everyone got the flu. So we headed up to Victoria instead. Paid a visit to The Buchart Gardens and The Victoria Butterfly Gardens, so had an opportunity to learn the new camera a bit.

Since it was way-too-early spring, we had the places to ourselves.

A stroll thru the gardens. The limestone pit –

Things are just getting started –

My old friend –

S-CAR-GO?

The Cove –

They say it’s good luck to rub his nose –

The butterflies were cool –

Yes, he would like a cracker –

The government building at night –

That’s all for now. More learning and practice needed.

If you’ve never been to Victoria, it’s highly recommended. If you do get there, the gardens are a MUST. Go in Summer when things are in full bloom, it’s amazing.
