Morgen at Manitou Park

I had a great time taking these pictures of Morgen for her LDS application down at Manitou Park. We had a nice warm summer day we had to work with. My thanks to Morgen!

Flowers and Critters from our backyard

We have been having some nice days here in Spokane lately. The evenings have been extremely comfortable with a cool breeze provided by threatening thunderstorms. Quail and ground squirrels provide the entertainment. We have a family of quail that has 20 some young hatchlings. I haven't been able to get a picture of all the hatchlings yet as they do not come out very much. We enjoy watching three or possibly four ground squirrels hopping through our brush. Also some pretty irises. Here are some snapshots to give a glimpse of our backyard.

Too Cute For Dog Food!

This snapshot is from when my 11yo son was at his last piano lesson. If you are in Spokane and need piano lessons I can highly recommend Janice Smith. She not only provides lessons for her students but also provides opportunities for them to play in front of audiences. The piano playing at the recitals range from adoring to amazing. My thanks to Janice for teaching my son piano as well as allowing me to post this pic of her adoring cats!

Downtown Spokane

Three more pics from downtown Spokane a couple of weeks ago. One is of the statue of Challenger astronaut Michael Anderson who was from Spokane.

Snapshots of the Bing Crosby Theater

I had the pleasure of accompanying my nine year son on a field trip to downtown Spokane to see the Bing Crosby Theater and Riverside State Park. Originally I thought we were going to Bing's museum on the Gonzaga campus where he went to school. It was a beautiful sunny day and the kids were great. I think we all had a great time! Here are some snapshots from the trip! Bing Crosby fans enjoy!
