What-What?! Week of February 18th

So, first:

Inches of snow fell last night -- maybe around 5 inches or so?  We're supposed to get another 1-3 inches before noon as well...  There went all the shopping we were going to do today. :P


We've spent the last five days with the husband's younger brother visiting us.  We sent him back to the Bay Area yesterday afternoon, and did a bunch of stuff while he was here.

One of the things we did was go hiking again at Lord Hill park; we'd been meaning to do this for quite a while, and since it wasn't too wet that day, we decided to go for it.

One of the main features of the park is big trees with holes in the middle:
Thumbs up!

"Uncle Johnny, you're so silly!"



You'll recognize this picture from the last time we were here -- I took an almost identical one then, too.


Lots of ferns, as usual.
 

This tree is being dismantled by wood peckers.

Trees growing out of other trees -- lots of this too!

Osric was pretty grumpy by this point in the hike, and decided that this tree branch was stupid.  As far as I can tell, he just doesn't like hiking very much.

This portion was pretty muddy in parts.

Reading the map.

Walkin' with Uncle Johnny.

I have lots more photos from our trip to the Funko store, which I will post next week. :)

What-What?! Week of July 9th

Lord Hill Regional Park


Last weekend, we went to Lord Hill Regional Park, located in the southern part of Snohomish.  It was a bit of a drive, out beyond the farmland, but I think it was worth it.  The park itself was lovely, the trails were wide and generally in good condition, and it wasn't as swampy and wet as some of the other forests we've been to.

"Live, uh, finds a way"

Interesting texture on this tree.  Dunno what could have caused it.

An absolutely huge, hollowed out tree stump.

They were looking at berries, I think.


One of the wider parts of the trail.

Pretty leaves.
 
We all had a good time.  Ozzy spent part of the time being scared -- I don't know why, but he's decided that forests are scary.  He did lighten up after a while, though.
