Silver Lake and Mt St Helens
Pretending to be in the leisure class has some advantages ... such as taking a driving trip off-season and during a weekday. We took the fuzzies to Mt St Helens via 504 to Elk Rock view point.

Snow and more snow ... and G
on 16th of December... G was diagnosis with kidney failure and we checked him into Swedish Hospital emergency room in Seattle around 10am in the morning. He stayed in intensive care for two days, and general / Nephrology for another two days. He came home on the 19th. He is on a special diet while he is on dialysis - low potassium, low phosphorous, no add'l salt, high protein, and various changes. He is going through the treatment process and will find out what's waiting on the other side.
At the same time, we have consecutive snow storms since about the 14th. I did not grow up around snow, and usually stay home in this weather. According to all the weather and news reports, this area has not seen snow like this. Needless to say, it has been quite frightful between G and this weather ...

The sound of leaves falling ...
Taken with the silly iphone camera on our weekend walk to the park. It had just stopped raining. The wind was blowing. The leaves were raining down, making the most pleasant sound.

Mallards in the early morning fog.
1. Don't move.
2. Where's my shotgun?
3. If this was N.D. they would be gone already.
4. Hmm, that reminds me I need to get a longer lense for skittish wildlife, so I don't have to get this close in order to take the shot.
This photo just happened as I was working on the following scenic/fine arts fluff shot.
Early morning fog
I was trying to capture the shoreline with this lakes total calmness during a fog, the fog is what took me so long to take the picture.

A new leaf
Lots of new leaves. Garden is coming alive with the warm weather. I took a new startegy with the ferns - instead of waiting till the new leaves are out, and the old ones brown out. I am trimming all the old ones bit earlier. We will see how it goes.

Fuzzy day
It was a good puppy day - sunny & cold. It was gorgeous. After a time with the sticks, we talked Glen into having a walk with us at Lk Samm.

Frosty
When I lived in Cali, the weather is never a topic of conversation. Not so much here. As we approach Winter Solstice, it has been dangerous while on the walk with two doggies who wants to pull opposite direction. It was still frosty when I got to work.

Very cute puppies ....
Mush...

Lonely tree
This tree has always been there, by itself ...
The best thing in life is... grass.
Winter likes this particular kind of thick bladed grass... weird puppy.
On our way to Lk Samm
Whee! Observe the puppies putting their nose to the freshly cleaned windows!
