Canon Beach

We left Seaside this morning and stopped at Ecola State Park, just north of Cannon Beach. It was a typical hazy Oregon coast morning and I got hits nice view of the rocks from Chapman Point.Cannon_Beach_from_Ecola_SP

Our Regular Visitor

The pileated woodpecker we’ve named “Terrence” has become a regular visitor. It’s loads of fun to watch and listen to him zip into and out of the yard.

And today he was joined by the kids.

Waterfront Tour

Today’s adventure was a tour of the Seattle waterfront and Ballard Locks.It was a super pleasant day but probably a little boring for two teenage girls.

Over Seattle

We had hoped to do a seaplane fly-over around Mt. Rainier but about 20 minutes after take-off it we got word the mountain was clouded over.  So we spent about an hour ove Seattle and east over Mt. Si and North Bend.

More Horsing Around

We signed up for a couple of private lessons for just Trisha and me. This time we are on Roy, a mammoth animal but very well-mannered.david_on_roy_02827

The Bear is Back

The neighborhood is getting visits from a large black bear. We don’t usually see these critters in the summer. This one is quite bold and not easily shooed away.
