Lady.

So Andy and I have acquired a new pet/friend (although Andy would disagree on the friend part.) Her name is Lady and she is a robin. Awhile back Andy went out to water our hanging baskets and discovered a Robin's nest in one of them. My first thought was to take it out. But, then I felt bad cause that was their home. So, we decided to let them keep their home in our hanging basket. It is no longer our hanging basket. In fact I don't even think Lady and her man recognize the good dead we did by allowing them to stay. Now we have (I believe) 4 babies in the nest. The Robin's have become very territorial. They have not swooped at me yet but Andy has had many encounters. Lady is pretty chill and hangs out in the nest most of the time, her man on the other hand is not. He has kicked out all the other Robin's from the area. He sits on the fence posts guarding the area, and I think one of his favorite hobbies has become attacking Andy. This AM Andy captured some cools picks of Lady with a huge worm in here mouth feeding the babies, but in the meantime as Andy puts it, the male came at him "like a 747" haha. Anyways it has been fun watching her. Here are some cool photos we have caught. I love this camera.

Happy Campers.

The weekend of June 1-3, we spent it camping in Gardiner, Montana. Finally we were able to get out and enjoy (a little) sunshine. It was still raining, snowing, and cool but, we were eager to get out and camp. We found a little camp area in Gardiner were we car camped. It was a lot of fun and very beautiful. We spent Saturday being tourist in West Yellowstone National Park. Although some feel that the park is too touristy and don't want to take on the challenge of dealing with the challenged tourist- I love going through the park. It brings me back to being a little kid when my dad use to take us through this park. I love it, I never take it for granted. It's beauty is unreal. On Saturday we saw 5 grizzly bears, elk, buffalo, and many other creatures. We hiked the Grand Canyon of the Park and also did the Fairy Falls Hike. It was beautiful. Overall the weekend was great, spent with good friends. I also got to practice with my new camera some more. Enjoy the photos.
