Nice view and rainbow. Crazy weather across your neck of the woods. My wife and I backpacked up Refrigerator Canyon Trail, intending to camp overnight at mile ten Kennedy Spring. When we reached the meadow up top at mile five, the snow was sticking, the temperature plummeted and we were soaked from rain below. It was obvious that snow was to continue, so we opted to abort and hike back down for hot coffee. So our excursion into the Gates of the Mountains Wilderness will have to be postponed for a warmer time. No parka, no choppers, no dry boots = no fun.

I always enjoy gratuitous sexy rifle pics. A package from McMillan arrived almost 2 months early to spruce up my Finnlight .300 win mag.

A friend asked me for some pics of my sons' PRS competition rifles and staged 'action' shots. Some of the ones I liked most.

Made a new friend today at the local animal rehab. She's a 29 year old Alaskan brown bear named Yak who was abandoned as a cub.

Great Gray Owl.
They sure do blend in with the trees well.

Some good examples of why these birds are called Ring-necked Ducks: The bronze colored ring around the drakes necks. Not easily seen or photographed. Great photo!
