This second sojourn into the mountains was interesting, but lacked anything with 'cranial appendages' (Jon's words!). He shared some of his other finds with me and thru me, with you!
All photos except the last one were taken by Jonathan.
Ziggy, the preying mantis. Ziggy kept moving around and wanted to grab the camera!
It is so odd finding things after decades of seasons have assailed them. This is a glass bleach bottle circa 1955 or so (Jon told me, I forgot to write it down!). It was near the old combine near the road to the ranch.
Chipmunk having a snack of some sort-
Jon took a few photos of odd shapes in the trees.
This was the sunset on Sunday night. Mt Hood had a shadow mountain behind and over it! (the photos look better bigger. If you click on the picture you can see it singly on the screen)
Jon took this fun photo of what we surmise is a sun dog. It moved during the course of the photos from one side to the other. (the sun dog is the spot on the side)
Some of the deer Jon saw. He also saw a family his last night out hunting. It was too dark to take photos and they were about 10 feet away. He said it was perfectly still and no breeze, if he'd have moved, they would have skittered off. The fawns were playing and the doe had to keep them in line.
VERY odd (what we assume) jumping spider. We usually see them in greens, it was very different finding one that was red.
This sunset was on Tuesday night. Jon and Steve were sad they didn't get a deer this year. They did NOT want a forked horn and so, they came home with good memories and sore bodies. Some years are like that.
