Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's day to all of the great Fathers in our family and among our friends.

Kids of the 80's - Mullets and Tie-Dye

Who said you can't look utterly cool in a mullet?

I won't mention any names with these photos but I'll bet you can guess who the kids in the pictures are. (Hint: Look at the group photo in the 5/23/2008 posting.)

This is proof that you can be a 'stud' in a mullet.

Post Script to the Bear Posting

Here are a couple more pictures to go with the bear story.

This is the big bear paw








And this is the big bear picture taker!

A really big bear!




Clyde’s quest for the ultimate wildlife photos has taken his trail camera into the bear’s backyard where we get a good look at the bear’s back side... Just need to figure out how to get him to turn into the camera better.


It’s a really big bear... really, really. In fact it looks like a fur covered Volkswagen.




And did I mention that it is a really big bear?

Luckily it showed up about 8 hours after Clyde and his friend, Otto, set up the trail cam, so he didn’t come face to face with it.
He began all of this when he became curious about if there were bears in that part of the wilderness and he found out that indeed there are.


Did I also mention that I don’t think I’ll be going on any wilderness hikes with him again?

Spring Flowers in my World

Spring is leaving and, sadly, the daffodils are gone, too.


I'll bet this little fellow misses them a lot.

The Magnolia bush has lost its flowers and gone to just green as well. But it was pretty when it was blooming, too.


... but the irises and roses are taking their place and they are making quite a showing.





Most of my roses are miniatures. So delicate...



Hopefully the little petunias I planted will grow nicely too.
