To Amuse my Mother during her recuperation

Here are a few local photos for your entertainment.  More of what seems like the same, only not quite, since every day is different from the last.

Paul's Creek - you can see up it farther in winter than in the leafy months

Pussy willow are furry, and up higher, they are greening out!  eek!

thought this was cool

one of my favorite views in the Canyon

The guaging station below the Rock Creek Dam with the waterfall corridor behind it

Tunnel and curve

close up of the guaging station

Erosion control devices - we've gotten used to them, but don't like the look

camping spot along Caribou Road

Pretty water, gnarly tree root

Himalayan primrose - I forget their real name.  Will update when I learn it.  Meanwhile, they're blooming in my garden!

In the center of this photo, slightly obscured by the middle tree, is a low-flying plane that passed BELOW us as we hiked up the mountain across from Tobin this morning.  The clouds promise much needed rain!
