Well, it's "later" now, so here are more of the things, people, and animals we saw at the Evergreen State Fair. First, let's get the politics out of the way. Both the Democrats and the Republicans had booths in their commercial building. Please notice the two booths. Please note that the Democrats have twice the …
This afternoon, Hubby called me to the window to watch all the Northern Flickers in the yard. At one point, there were four of them, but I only managed to capture three. Here are some still shots. Please be aware that these were taken through a double-pane window from the second story bedroom. And a …
