On the Forest Floor

We went for a drive around Hayden Lake, looking for a place to fish.
We ended up on a dirt road, heading away from the lake and

stopped to stretch our legs. We could hear water,

so we hiked down to the creek.

It's amazing, all the life on the forest floor.

There was moss and lichen and plants and flowers.

Some so small it's easy to miss.
Others, like this daisy, shout for your attention.

And, because of all the rain we've had,
everything is very green.

Beautiful.

Or not...

No 4th of July images to share this year.

I took my point and shoot to the parade, then didn't take a single photo.

And we didn't go to the lake for fireworks.

The animals were freaking out about the illegal fireworks

going off all around our house, so we opted to stay home.

Here's the first rose of the year, bloomed on July 4, 2010.

I still can't believe what a weird weather year we're having.

Kota & Nicole came for a BBQ in the afternoon.
Kota likes grapes. :-)

Happy Birthday, Danny!

Happy Fourth of July, Everyone!

Since I started the last Project 365, I've been posting my photos early in the morning. This means today's photo was taken yesterday. Which works well, until we have a day like today. :-) We're going to the parade and then fireworks tonight, so TOMORROW's photo will have an Independence Day theme. What can I say? The best laid plans and all.

Enjoy your 4th of July! I know I'm going to.

It rained all day - and then the sun came out just so I could get a photo.

First, I would like to know what is making the pin sized holes in my dianthus.

Second, I cannot believe it's July and we've spent so little (read: none) time in our yard.

This sign has been up on my way to and from work for a couple of weeks. It makes me laugh every time I see it. And after this long, I'm starting to wonder if the misspelling was on purpose.

Happy Birthday, Dad! He would have been 99 today.
