My last post had a rather ethereal appearance about the photos. I wondered if something was strange in my camera, so I took two more images this morning as a test. It appears the camera is working fine now. I cant' explain why the pictures taken in Woodinville of the Russell girls were so misty. (I guess it was just that heavenly aura that they have about them.
) I really have no explanation, but I am happy to have my camera behaving as expected. I used as subject matter for my photos some of the flora blooming around the house. No fauna was available at the time of filming. However, earlier this morning I saw seven huge, white pelicans cruising on the lake. Two of them came close enough that if I had been ready with my camera, I could have caught them gliding right up to my back yard. We have several hatches of Canadian goslings on the lake. Yesterday as I was edging the lawn I found a goose nest in a large piece of expired rabbit brush that is right by the edge of the lawn and the inlet on the other side. The hatching had already taken place as there were several shells scattered outside of the nest. There are still three eggs intact sitting in the nest. I don't have any idea how many times I walked past the nest as the geese were sitting on them hatching them. Now that I have found the nest I expect that I will never see them there again either.

She made a tabulation of the many things that she thought were good. I thought so too. I enjoyed the good lunch in the park afterward and visiting with so many of the fine people that came on Quinn's blessing day.
Our new tenants, Ashley, Justin, Taylor and Braxton seem to have settled in well. They don't complain. Everything certainly isn't the most commodious. I hope they are happy enough to endure the situation.
At the luncheon in the park we agreed that on 26 May we will meet at the Oxford Cemetery at 10:30 and honor the people whose graves are there. "We" includes all of Callie's and Dan's family, Lisa, Phil and family and Clarine and I. After the Oxford visit we will all go to Downata Hot Springs for eating, swimming and whatever. The picnic will be super as people volunteered to bring specific things, so it won't be pot luck - pot luck is fun and good too, but this way we sort of know what we are getting. Clarine and I are bringing the chicken. Others are doing the rest. I hope it turns out to be warm enough for the swimmers. A good time will be had by all in honoring those dear ones who have gone to other circumstances. gwh
