It's still Friday "RIGHT"

I know I am a bit late for the party.
But better late than miss it all together.

The Party I'm talking about is Nancy's
Random Five Friday.


1.  Last week we got to have Myle's (my grandson) for 3 days before
his parents (my daughter and SIL) picked him up.
We had so much fun with him.
We must have watched the movie "CARS" at least 20 times.
Even though its a cute movie, I can go for quite awhile before I see it again.


2.  I got a new Hummingbird feeder.  I didn't put it up right away because
I thought it was too cold to for hummingbirds to be out and about.
But then I heard them buzzing around and decided to put it out.
And we already have two regulars at the feeder.
I will try to get some shots of them soon.


3.  I started a 365 on Instagram. Wish me Luck..
My Instagram name is mhplinda.
Stop by and say hi..


4.  We were on a walk last week and we saw an Eagle.
We have seen them a couple of times flying so gracefully over head.
But on this afternoon he was sitting pretty on a tree.
Such an amazing site to see.




5.  Here at the campground we had a brave young couple that
spent 4 nights in a tent.  It has been has been pretty chilly and
windy,  but they seemed to enjoy it.  They put up a tarp to block the wind.
And they had a campfire non-stop.  I guess they are pros at camping in this cold weather.


Well that's all I have for this weeks randomness.
Thanks so much for stopping by.

Hugs~

Hanging out at the feeder

I could sit all day and watch the birds at the feeder.
And what a busy feeder it has been lately.

 I have the feeder hanging right outside my back window.  
I sometimes wonder if they can see me
snapping off shots of them.


Here is a Spotted Towhee..
I usually don't know the names of Birds, but I looked these up.
So if I am wrong, Please me know.







A cute little Blacked-capped Chickadee.



Dark Eyed Junco
These guys are quick.  I finally got a shot that wasn't all blurry.  



 This guy showed up a little bit late to the party.



But now that he found the feeder 
he will do what ever it takes to get to those seeds.


I hope everyone's enjoying the Holiday Season.
We are still here in Washington State and It has been darn right cold.
But we have been out and about not letting the
cold keep us down.  We are hoping to make it to the
Hoh Rain Forest this coming up week to do some Hiking.
I am sure it will be raining. But who doesn't like to hike in the rain.
It's the darn wind that I don't like to hike in.


I just want to say thanks once again for all the kind comments
I know I have been slow at getting around to seeing your blogs,
but I really haven't been on the computer much.
I do hope you are all doing well.

Hugs~

Hello

How are you doing?  
I've been trying to keep up with what everyone has been up to,
but I do believe I have fallen behind once again.

On my last post I had mentioned how slow the campground was here
where we are hosting and this hosting gig was a piece of cake.
Well that all changed on Veterans Day weekend. 
We were completely full.
80 Happy Campers here in Fort Worden State park.

So we were busy busy..  We didn't mind at all.
People are so nice, and most of the people who camp here have been
coming here for years. And they gave us all kinds of tips on what to do in the area.


Well here are a few photos I managed to get this week.



A couple of leaves still hanging on.





The Beach Here at Fort Worden is nice and sandy.
A bit to chilly to get in.  But I bet it's crowded in the summer time.






I really can't figure out what this guy 
is eating for lunch but it was fun watching him catch it.





More fun finds on the beach.





Look what I found as I was combing the beach. It kinda look like a ring.
The scary movie "The Ring" was filmed here at Fort Worden.
Kinda spooky..




And this old boat sits right across from the campground
I LOVE the way it looks. Makes me wonder how old it is.


I have a so many more photos but it takes so much time to
go through all of them.  That will have to wait for another day.


Thanks so much for taking the time
to stop by.  And Thanks for all your kind comments
You guys are so kind..


Hugs~
