This is a rare time when the post is coming on the actual date I took the photo. One of the things I love about where I work is the attention paid to making sure we have a nice environment that is pleasant to come to. We have a lot of beautiful flowering trees that burst into color in the spring. The combination of the blue sky and the white flowers were too lovely not to share right away.
These guys live less than a mile from me and are usually pretty far from the road. For whatever reason on this day they were interested in coming over for a closer look. To be honest, 2-1 looks a little too interested now that I see the picture…
I often see seagulls on the Columbia River – which is always a little odd because I’m rather far inland (many hours!). One morning there was a huge flock in the middle of campus – a rare sight for me! Like a kid, I had to startle them into flying and then I captured this with my phone camera. I guess the phone camera is why there are shadow birds in the image, but I think it looks cool.
Another morning walk by the Columbia River and another heron sighting. This time he was stretching his wings while fishing from a channel marker. And yes, I know. I really need to go out with a real camera and stop relying on my phone only while I’m out by the Columbia.
During a morning walk by the Columbia River it was so lovely and peaceful I decided to sit on a bench for a bit and just soak it all in. Not too long after, a pheasant strolled by. How I wish I had a better camera at that moment than my phone, but nonetheless I wanted to share it with you. Magical!
On a recent outing I walked by where the goats live. This time one of the adults was willing to pose for a photo. What a sweetie!
This beautiful horse lives about a mile from me and we see each other pretty regularly. We have a nice chat each time, and someday I’ll remember to bring carrots with me.
This is yet another sunrise view of the Columbia River as I walked before work. Honestly, if you could see this each morning before work – why wouldn’t you?
Not all the animals I see while I’m out are wildlife or barn animals. In fact I see a lot of dogs but they are usually barking and running and not interested in posing for a photo. This cat was enjoying a sunny spot and watching me carefully. Technically I suppose it could be a barn cat, but it didn’t look like it was into working.
At one horsepower, this is clearly not a violation.
