Eighty Degrees
Did I mention it's supposed to be 80 degrees down here this week? I may never come home...

Porch Swing
My stray cat count has risen to three and I think my neighbors are starting to get pissed.
Leaving cat food out for my wayward friends has created more visitors.
Couldn't get a picture of the woodpecker pecking at my skylight, but its quite the angle to be looking at a bird to say the least.
Sorry for my lack of updates, I don't know what I've been doing but I can guarantee its been fun. See you soon
This thing came at me like an enraged bull, I screamed and locked myself in the house. I thought I was going to have to call 911 to get it off my porch so I could get to work with out risking rabies. I'll tell you, it takes a weapon stronger then a broom to deter this beast. I was in the ER that same morning after getting mauled by dogs (trying to rescue a puppy) and the doc assured me rabies hasn't shown up in dogs in a long time and he wasn't worried. Then I asked him about possums and he looked at me like I was nuts(who gets mauled by dogs and charged at by possums in the same 12 hrs?!) and said that I should be worried about possum rabies. Dodged a bullet there my friends. 
Why hello! This pair was cute and wanted to come inside. They scratched at my door for about an hour before giving up. My cat was inside hissing furiously at the corner of the door they were attempting to penetrate. I think it only assured them that there was something fantastic inside.Saturday, September 19, 2009
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! Thursday, September 17, 2009
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!
