365 Photo(s) of the Day

I hope you’ve enjoyed the last several days of my photos of me and my splendiferous Mr’s fun day away at Molson, Washington.  This little ghost town has so much to offer.  If you ever find yourself with an opportunity make sure you give yourself loads of time.  I’m going to wind up with photos of birds and the little lake nearby. 

The lake is very small – and kind of elongated.  But birds seem to love it.

The birds in this picture were rather too dark to make a great photo out of so I turned them into a silhouette. 

Before you actually see birds you can certainly hear them.  There are many redwing blackbirds and these yellow headed birds too and they make the oddest sounds! 

This one is showing off for a mate, I’m sure!

Check out the bright blue bill on this Ruddy Duck! 

Couldn’t quite believe our eyes when we saw this.  But after googling it HERE I have learned that “They court females by beating their bill against their neck hard enough to create a swirl of bubbles in the water.”

This wraps up my photos of Molson, for now.  I’m looking forward to visiting the Museum in the future and sharing it with you! 

Thanks for visiting today!

365 Photo(s) of the Day

Well, so I am not "officially" any part of a yearly photo challenge so I will tell you that once in a while I don't blog a photo that was taken that exact day.  Rather, I choose to blog photos every day but if I have a spill-over from something interesting my camera captured then I will chose to spread it out over a few posts/days.  Such is the case with this past weekend.  My Mr took me out for a surprise drive across the border date!  

Today I'm sharing some photos from our trip to a tiny little town in Washington State USA - a place we've been to before but never tire of.  I can easily walk away each time wishing I'd just had a bit more time to take more photos.  

This first photo is on the drive to Molson Washington and this is Mr Miles capturing a photo of an old house with a unique gate in front.  Sometimes the photographer becomes the photographee!

Molson boasts an old time village where you will be welcomed to wander at will enjoying all the buildings and displays.  There is also a terrific museum, but we ran a little short of time to do that.  Today and tomorrow I'll just share some photos of the things I captured at the self guided walk thru of the historic buildings and machinery. 

There are all sorts of buildings, over a half dozen, representing homesteads and businesses of the era.  

Today I'll just give you peeks at some windows, tomorrow I'll take you inside! 

I think I'll leave you with all this wondering what's IN THERE!
