Alice In Wonderland

Guapo, Kammi and I headed to the cascades for some mountain air, toasted marshmallows and some alpine lakes. I took a chunk out of my quest to find and photograph all the mushrooms in the Field Guide to the Cascades & Olympics, they were everywhere and beautiful! Lovely times all around!

Guapo!

Sulfur Shelf fungus

Panther Amanita

Woolly Chanterelle

HUGE Mystery Mushroom!

Meadow Mushroom (?)

Don't know what this red gooey stuff is...

King Bolote... awfully cute, no?

Sulfur Tuft

I'm not very good at identifying mushrooms, I have no idea what this is.

Another mystery, but it looks pretty psychedelic!

Fly Amanita

Shaggy Mane

Some sort of cup fungus

Woolly Chanterelle

Gem-Studded Puffball

Dunno.

Good thing the summer isn't taking a bow too quickly in the great northwest, I hope to fit in a few more forest jaunts!

You Do, We Do

Saturday night was the marvelous wedding of my friends Jill and Jason! It was on the beach at Golden Gardens on a beautiful 80 degree day. The reception was at the old brick bath house that sits just off the beach. There was an open bar, drag queen, karaoke, and last but certainly not least, the vodka ice luge. Thanks for a good time guys and CONGRATS!

My friend Kiki and I made all the bouquets!

Inside the bath house! Beautiful!

This is the vodka luge. One is to pour their booze in the top and laugh as it twirls down through the ice and deposits in a waiting cup chilled as the arctic! Then one realizes after a few of these that their head fits where the cup goes and the party progresses!

Lovely evening at the beach. Once again, congratulations!

BIRTHDAY LADY!!

Happy birthday dear friend! I love and miss you every single day!
