Art and I went out of the village for five days this past week. We had a very special wedding to attend and had a chance to meet our son's fiancée’s family as well. We also spent three much needed nights at home in Ellensburg. Our dog and cat still love us, our garden and lawn looked very good (thanks to our boys). We are down to our last two and a half months here at Holden. I begin working at the Ellensburg library again September 1st.
Today has been a day of seeing lots of new life in the woods. First of all, on the trip up Lake Chelan today the boat pulled over to let us see some mountain goats with some fairly new kids. Unfortunately for my camera all of these pictures do a poor job of showing off these new forest babies. They all are very well camouflaged.
After dinner, Art spied two mother deer with their new fawns. These sweet things blend right into the trees and shrubs. The first mother had twins that were about a week old.
The second mother had given birth only a few hours before and had placed this wobbly fawn in some low bushes while she went out to graze. I was lucky to get in a shot or two before she came back.
This last picture is just one taken from the Lady of the Lake of Domke Falls. The boat rarely goes in close to the falls but today they put the nose right into the falling water. Quite a lovely day to end our time out with. Tomorrow it is back to work.
