I haven't had a chance to compose a post of my weekend at the coast yet (except for a few on
my other blog), and here we up and took a quick trip
last weekend. Who knows when/if I'll be able to do a "show & tell" about either weekend (there have been a few pix on Instagram); they'll take more time than a quick photo tour of this – what we came home to.
And it's not just the landscaping that's alive with spring. Brian and I saw crows carrying in nesting material over and over again to a tall Douglasfir in our pasture this morning. Until/unless I can capture that, here is photo of one of them taking off:
That's it for now from . . .
