Birds and bears and....oh, my!

Our little neighborhood is on bear watch...I check around before closing the door and getting too exposed before dashing to the studio!  Last week a mama brown bear and two large cubs were helping them selves to my neighbors trash bags.

Of course I have no bear pictures, but this teenage robin was very cooperative.

Our weather has been wonderful, so yesterday a motorcycle trip was taken to Princess Lodge in Cooper Landing--I love their KPL salad!  Then friends from church invited us to dinner--sushi and fellowship were both great.  Hmmm.  I wasn't in the kitchen yesterday.....


This lovely was found in the "back 40" and transplanted to my flower bed.
