I added a number of pictures to our blog today. Most of them are from fishing and camping trips.
The one picture of the eagle carrying the walleye is great. The picture is real but it was "kind of set up". Randy had caught the walleye and he threw it back. The walleye was injured enough that it did not take off right away and the eagle came in and picked it up. What a shot! You can even see a few droplets of water still dripping from the fish.
I love the two loon pictures. They are such beautiful birds!
The picture of Marion and I standing in the snow was the weekend we were engaged. We are standing next to my Dart on Marion's home farm.
I hope you can see the pictures well enough to enjoy them.

Last Sunday (29th) I flew to Seattle and stayed over night near the airport. The next morning I traveled north to Chilliwack British Columbia for a Staff Council meeting for the Christian Labor Association. The Staff Council meeting was held at Stillwood Camp and Conference Center http://www.stillwood.ca/about.php
A very beautiful area and a very nice camp and conference center! The camp is surrounded by mountains and some that are snow capped. It rained most of the days -- but Monday when we arrived in the area we stopped at a restaurant at a par 3 golf course. The sun was shining as we sat and ate our noon lunch and many golfers were enjoying the beautiful day. The greens were so very green and the mountains were breathtaking. Many of them still covered in snow.
I returned home on Thursday night - very good to be home. The weather was very nice while I was gone but when I returned home it turned to rain, wind, and cool temps. I guess I brought it with me from the Pacific Northwest.
Today I have been working inside of the house putting the house back in order after a lengthy remodel of the living room. I have also installed a new computer. Wow! It is so nice compared to the old computer which was a Nobilus (never heard of it right!) and the old computer still operated with Windows 98. So going to the new computer is light years ahead of what we had previously.
Tomorrow is Sunday and we will be celebrating Grandson Seth's 6th birthday. I hope the weather improves for tomorrow that the grandchildren can all be outside and play. Enough rambling for now.
I will try to continue to make additional posts.
