Fish, fish, and more fish

-
Eric's Aunt Denise came over from the valley yesterday for a visit. So I played hooky, and we all went to lunch - had a fresh albacore tuna sandwich - and then a visit to the Oregon Coast Aquarium.
Here are some of the things we saw there...
Eric and his kinfolk...
Sunbeams in the Passages of the Deep exhibit...


Me, reflected in a shot of a ray, also in Passages of the Deep...

Crustaceans...


Mollusks...

This is the underside of a large anemone
This is a tiny little octupus

And this is the underside of a limpet.
We saw tufted puffins...
One of which was having a vigorous bath...



We saw dancing sea stars...

And some faces only a mother could love.

Another busy week here at the studio! Yay!

Road Trip! Part Eight: The Tetons

-
Image
 From Denver, we headed up to Moran, Wyoming for a glimpse of the Tetons with their fresh layer of snow.  Here are some of the shots I got the day we arrived. We got up early the next morning and went horseback riding.  It was 23 degrees! What a blast!!   There's a magpie on the curb saying, "Good Morning!" Lots of horse's asses...  The horse ranch life... hot coffee, chewing tobacco and cigarettes, and lots of horses.  They have a herd of 130 horses and mules.  What fun!  Here is a link to the outfit we went with:   Grand Teton and Jackson Hole Horseback Riding - Teton Horseback Adventures This is Holly, the mare I rode. She really didn't like having her cinch tightened, but she was a really nice ride. And this is Little Snort and Margaret. Our lovely guide, Georgia.  She did a great job.  She HAS a great job! I loved riding Holly, she listened to me really well.  What a beautiful girl. Georgia took some shots of us ...

Road Trip! Part Seven: The Rocky Mountains

-
Image
 The next couple of days were spent sightseeing in the Rockies with my favorite cousin, Melanie. One major highlight was a ride on the  Georgetown Loop Railroad .  The weather was perfect, the company was awesome, and the scenery was second to none. Click on one of the pictures to enlarge them into a filmstrip view. What a great ride!  I highly recommend it if you're ever in the Denver area. Next, we went to Rocky Mountain National Park.  Cousin Melanie got a shot of a moose; I was too far away.  Great shot, Mel! This was mid-June.  It was fun to see snow and walk around on it, we don't get much here at the Oregon Coast! I put my mom's ashes in the creek in her hometown. I sure do miss her. Next up:  The Tetons!

Marshmallow farm?

-
Image
On the way home from the Tillamook Forest Center last Sunday, Eric stopped the car so I could snap some shots of what looks like a farm that produces giant marshmallows. We watched the machine that wrapped these giant hay bales in white plastic. Why they do this, I don't know. To keep the hay fresh, perhaps? It is kinda fun to picture these things as giant marshmallows, tho.
