Pictures....hmmm

Ok, let's start with this:




What can we say about that? Grant's pass....was totally unsuccessful. Grant's pass...this too shall pass. Grant's pass...and here we thought there was only Grant's failure.

Hi, Grant...it's 5:00 pm (in Portland)

We stayed at a nice little hotel in Roseburg-no pictures, not very exciting, but we did get this picture for Sorcererdale:



A few hours on the road the next day brought us to Roseburg where we stayed with Jamie's aunt and uncle, somewhat out in the countrry.

On one side there were horses:



And on the other...Llamas!



Jamie's aunt took us to the Jackson Bottom Wetlands, for a wee bit of birding:





We found this one in one of the shelters overlooking the lake. An exotic Robin.



We did nab 2 new birds (Tree Swallow and Marsh Wren) for our year list, but we were kind of expecting dozens-it was surprising how many we already had and frustrating how many new calls I heard but could not identify.

Ah well, we birders are a strange race.

We also got a Red Breasted Nuthatch and a Black Capped Chickadee the next morning on our walk, so I'm happy with the past 24 hours.

Jamie kept wasting time looking at plants...



This morning we made a quick trip to Forest Grove and visited with my grandmother (91 years young).

Don't they make such a cute couple?



Tomorrow is BrewFest, so we'll be on the lookout for fellow kilties. We'll be in Loud Macleod, so maybe our fellow kilties should be on the lookout for us!

By the time we're done with that, we'll be too hot, tired and slightly the better for beer to post, so I'll probably be checking back in on Sunday.

Be well,
