Saw this little guy waddling through the grass above the house this afternoon. Way to blend in, little Porcupine :)
Hello, Trickster!
Huge raven has been hanging out in the backyard this afternoon.
Very welcome rain.
Woke up to the first decent rain we've had all spring. We've been desperate for more than sprinkles. Very little snow this winter, no rain this spring. The wildfire danger was/is extremely high and we've been dreading the possibility of a Fort MacMurray type fire. There's only one road in and out of Bear Valley, so we're more than happy at the outlook for a wet weekend.
Blasting towards summer at the speed of life.
It still amazes me at how incredibly fast everything bursts into bloom this time of year. All it takes is a little sprinkle of rain, the longer days of sunlight, and boom! These blooms and buds weren't here two days ago. Click to view full-screen.
Hazy on the Western horizon tonight.
It must be blowing quite hard out to the West as the sun sets tonight. Lots of haze and sea fog off of Cook Inlet. The light is all soft edges and gentle tones, but the colors are still pure drama.
