Chocolate bananas and shopping! YEA! Who's shopping today? I love seeing the little touches people put into their Airstreams.

Sharon has the cutest LadyBug accents that she has been collecting for her Airstream and others have been helping her out with their "finds" of appropriate matter that enhances her decor.

Have you added some treasures lately? Are you searching for something in particular?

G how was your trip out West? Any pictures?

Kind of a rainy day here in Michigan today. Temperatures have been falling recently though they are expected to climb again, but it is starting to feel like fall is just around the corner. Where did summer go all too fast?

And I believe it's made by Cadbury - if that helps in the search

Hi All,

We've gotten back from our trip through 9 states and logged in over 4, 300 miles.

This is what we came back to in our garden: 2 little baby pigeons that just hatched yesterday and today..the 'daddy' was very protective as you can tell, the babies stayed very close underneath his feathers. he takes turns with the 'mama' tending to them..they're about 2 inches big

tin sista · 08-21-2007, 01:05 PM

Thanks Paula, for sharing those adorable pix!!

What a nice homecoming surprise for you and Steve!!

codybear · 08-21-2007, 03:22 PM

oops,

Upon further consultation w/hubby, the white pigeon is the mama..here's the daddy

What a great papa! I love seeing and learning about your pigeons Paula. I have seen several documentaries on penquins recently and the animal world is just amazing to me. We used to have a lot of mallard ducks and herons and various smaller birds where we used to live. It always interesting to watch their behaviors and watch them grow.

That was a long trip, have you posted your trip pictures yet, I would love to see them?

Paula you have captured the most beautiful flower pictures and wonderful pictures of raging waterfalls and their "rainbows" and pristine forest. I love the mountains. You saw so many beautiful places and your pictures are great! I liked all the animal pictures too, had to laugh at the goose walk picture. Crater Lake and the river pictures make me want to start traveling soon and go to more different places. A couple of my favorites are #52 with the bird on the fence and the mountain background is fabulous and the hay bales on the farm. I lost track of my favorites because each photo was better than the last! So you went from California to Jasper and Glacier? All that ice must have been a big difference from sunny California. Was it chilly there?

Oh...what's a saskatoon?

I think we have seen that merry-go-round in Montana? What is picture #137, the interesting ceiling? We too love the Yellowstone and Glacier Park areas and hopefully will move out towards there one day. Bear World looks very neat. We have not seen many bears up close like that. I would love to go through that park.

That was quite a trip! Do you travel that far often? It looks like you had a tremendous adventure with Steve and Cody, so many places and faces.

Thanks for sharing your trip with us. Your pictures are beautiful. Now I wanna goooooooo!

codybear · 08-22-2007, 11:57 AM

Hi Carol,

It was a fun trip for sure!!..lots of places in the USA we'd love to visit someday.

Saskatoon is Indian for a berry similar to the blueberry that grows on bushes on praire soil in Canada..it's also called a Juneberry ...at the Saskatoon gardens in DeWinton near Calgary, you can pick a bucket's worth for a fee or they'll pick for you and you pay a little bigger fee..

tin sista · 08-22-2007, 12:45 PM

My favorite is the rainbow #90, the color is so intense, I just love it!! Cody is so adorable!! Glad you had such a nice trip, and that the boo boo on the trailer was easily taken care of!!

Thanks for sharing the photos!! For sure makes me want to get back out west again!!

Hi Carol, here's some answers to your questions:
favorites are #52 with the bird on the fence and the mountain background
That was a yellow headed blackbird (according to Steve)
So you went from California to ...
We went from CA to Oregon to Wasshington to British Columbia to
Calgary, DeWinton, Jasper and Banff in Alberta, then to
Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, and Nevada
Glacier? All that ice must have been a big difference from sunny California. Was it chilly there?
Up in Columbia Icefield, it was indeed cold!
Glacier National Forest?
in Montana beautiful rugged mountains,
I think we have seen that merry-go-round in Montana?
Yes in the Capital Helena.
What is picture #137, the interesting ceiling?
That is the ceiling view as you climb up 164 steps to the top of the
Astoria Column Tower.
That was quite a trip! Do you travel that far often?
A bout 3 years ago, after Steve retired, we took the safari eastward through about 13 states (didn't have Cody yet) to Wisconsin.

maxandgeorgia · 08-22-2007, 06:52 PM

Paula, I just enjoyed your slide show. Thanks for sharing your marvelous photography. When Max and I travel, we always have so many "I wonder..." moments that we laugh and say we need resident geology, biology, botany, etc, experts in the backseat to explain everything we are seeing. Now, I think we need you along to teach us photography as well! It's funny--without reading the others' posts about favorite snapshots in the album, I had taken notes as I was viewing, jotting down favorites. (How can I have favorites--they were ALL terrific!) I had listed, among others, # 52, the gaggle of girls heading down the roadway, and # 84, the rainbow. Mine matched up with some of the previous posts

Thanks again, and Cody must make a great traveler. ~G

codybear · 08-22-2007, 08:04 PM

Hi G,

the gaggle of girls heading down the roadway
I was actually about 4ft from getting pecked at by that gaggle..I almost fell down backwards! I had heard they can be really territorial and mean!..Cody was crate trained from the beginning in the back of our truck, so he rode well all through the trip..he sensed every single time we'd get into a campground, the minute Steve started backing up into our site..he wanted out!!!..he also wanted to get into the truck as soon as we started up the truck to head out to the next destination!!

tin sista · 08-22-2007, 09:20 PM

OMG Paula, you are so right about geese. We used to have some, and they were not so nice more like a nasty gang ...plus they left little icky gifts all over the lawn not to mention abandoned eggs...
