Went out to Spencer Island today with Cassandra and Bryson, we hid a new geocache there and also had a nice nature walk. This Eagle is part of a mated pair that are living near the island and flew overhead while we walked along. Cool!

Totem Poles at Burke Museum, WSU campus


Went to the Burke Museum today with the family. Really great museum, but they don't allow photography inside the place. So, I shot these images outside the museum. Right now is a great time to go, they have a fantastic exhibit showing called the "Cruisin the Fossil Freeway", it combines the science of fossil hunting with the art of painting. Really neat stuff! Heres a link.
