Photos from around home

 We've been having a good time capturing the beauty around us.  I hate the weather here, and I'm ready to move.  There are some things here that are gorgeous though.  The mountains, the trees, the river and the mist....  Here are my favorites, taken by multiple people in our family.   You can definitely see the things we enjoy most.  

We had a huge windstorm.  I was fascinated by the amount of movement in these trees. 

We've been seeing more deer around us than ever before.  It's been a lot of fun. 

Of course the coyotes.  We often hear them but don't see them that frequently. 

We had more flooding.  The river got right up to the top of the levy again.  

One of the people down the road did some changes to his yard that had huge ramifications.  We had similar flood levels since we moved here and the roads near our home never covered like this.  It was fun to drive through though.  We even let Kayda drive through it in her jeep.

We see a LOT of eagles and hawks.  There is a mated Eagle pair and their baby.  Though it's a big baby, it doesn't have the white feathers yet.  We've seen the three of them hanging out in trees together a lot.  We have a smaller type of hawk that likes to perch in a tree by our cul-de-sac.  We couldn't remember what we named him exactly so we just call him G.
