A New Discovery

Services for Real Estate Pros with ACCURATE REALTY GROUP

A trip to Snoqualmie Falls proved to be quite an adventure for my best four legged friend. Rather than wade through the Black Friday crowds, we chose a forty minute trip to one of Washington state's most popular attractions. Before heading to the waterfall, we decided to hike one of the trails.

I love the smell of leaves and pine needles thick and wet against the earth! Sun beams filtered through the trees and hit the moss as it overtook giant trees decaying back into the ground from where they began…

But wait!…Something strange from above. What is that sound? 

 

Why it is the rare and elusive (Well at least in downtown Seattle!) red headed woodpecker!

Hey Judy, I think it's pretty clear you made the right decision. I didn't go shopping either, but I didn't get the adventure you did. Maybe this weekend?

Good evening Judi. What's there not to like about a hike in the woods. I agree. Beats malling...

Hi Judi, Fabulous photos and loved the idea and photos of your little one. The wood pecker is so cool. Wish we had them here but they would first have to import some decent trees down here, LMAO  They wouldn't get much wood pecking satisfaction out of the Palm and Scrub trees. :-)

Hi there Judi, this looks likes a fun adventure for both of you. It looks much safer than arm wrestling over a crock pot or TV!

Hi Judi,

Great pictures of your dog and of the woodpecker. I love their coloring but never see them here in southern California. Looks like you had a great time with your little pal. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Judi, your four-legged friend looks like a real charmer. Is s/he a Scottish Terrier?

Judi-It has been awhile since I have seen a woodpecker. Things look so lush and green in the northwest. Exactly the opposite of my area dry and a lot of brown.

Judi~I am just NOW catching up on your blog...and I gotta tell ya, you didn't miss a single opportunity for a great shot--I can't believe the woodpecker photo, but all of them leading up to it were just PERFECT!

I miss seeing your blogs and seeing your lovely face. Hope you are doing well and not having something treacherous occurring which has kept you away.
