August Explorations

Ozzie , Maya and Mike come for a visit.. Ozzie came with his own bag of toys - This tire seemed to be a favorite:
From Summer 2012

There are a pair of evening grosbeaks visiting the feeder regularly, and then a fledgling landed on the driveway - I guess the nest was pretty close.

Fledgling bird landed on the driveway and hopped around a bit. Momma came down to watch over it, and then the pair disappeared.

Our swimming spot on Long Lake.  Note how the rock shelve juts out and then drops off into deep water.  Great way to get in, with the warmer surface water near the edge. Don't attempt this on a summer weekend however, because the lake gets crowded = even though its at the end of a 30 minute rough forest service road, and then a 20 minute hike.

Your swimming spot looks very inviting. One day I will come and visit and you can take me there. By the way, I love your new artwork.

Air travel is usually one of the first big hits of a slowing economy, but these guys don't believe the economy is slowing. It's only going to be a good quarter.
