Olympic National Park
I haven't posted any wildlife pictures in a while so here are some Pacifc Blacktailed Deer (ususally classified as a subspecies of mule deer). The photos were taken in Olympic National Park at Hurricane Ridge and the deer are really tame there. The meadows here have a "Sound of Music" feel to them, minus Julie Andrews and the von Trapp children of course.

The Farmer's Market
It has been rainy, but we got out yesterday and went to two Sunday markets. There was a quirky band playing at both. Above is Clallam County playing at the West Seattle Farmer's Market.
The Hoot Hoots were playing over in Ballard, which is the larger market. Prices are about the same as the grocery store but presumably fresher and you are buying more direct. Fresh flower arrangements are a bargain. By the way, you can buy a CD from either the Hoot Hoots or Clallam County for $5.

Mt Rainier
Mt Rainier is clearly visible from Seattle on a good day. Here it is peeking through clouds, as seen from the Vashon Ferry across Fauntleroy Bay.

Beautiful Weather
The weather has been great lately, I've had to get out and water to keep flowers in pots alive. This shot is of Seattle as seen from West Seattle.

Road Trip
David and I drove from Houston to Seattle last week in 4 days. Despite passing incredible scenery, I didn't come up with much more than snapshots. Here are two of the best: the Tetons from near Jackson, Wyoming and Craters of the Moon National Monument in Idaho. I did see more antelope than I've ever seen before (but no worthwhile photos).
