missing in action

Yes, I've been MIA. I've written several posts in my head but none of them has actually made it into cyber space. They're still there, though, so while I get my s*** together, here are a few photos from the past month or so. The first shows a pair of eagles in a tree on a misty spring day in Abbotsford:


On the May long weekend I flew up to the Okanagan to visit my cousin and bask in her Paint horse and tipi-filled slice of paradise ... and clean a lot of stalls. But I forgot my camera! It was like forgetting my right arm. I happened to tuck Greg's little Canon point-and-shoot in my bag, though, so got a few photos. Across the Coldstream Valley, looking north:

And Kari assisting in the ultrasounding of a mare with foal at heel:

Back home, the following weekend was the big graduation dinner/dance/red carpet event for number two son. I know ~ I'm far too young to have two high school graduates for kids. :) This was one of my favourite photos of him and his friend Alicia on the red carpet:

Then there was an Arabian horse show:

And a visit to Cathy's. This is one of her inquisitive llamas:

 And her Quarter Horse gelding, Zipper:


Then last weekend it was up the Sea to Sky corridor again to drop some paintings at Whistler.  This was taken at Britannia Beach:

And this one was taken from inside Nita Lake Lodge in Whistler. This hotel houses the train station for the Rocky Mountaineer and -- soon hopefully -- an art gallery!

Stay tuned for art again ... soon.
