Thursdays Thoughts, "You can't expect to get good photos setting on a running snowmobile!"

It was a fun ride !!!

JS and I spent this last weekend at the cabin.

Our friends where up and we got together for dinner.

The next day was beautiful so we went for a snowmobile ride around the lake.

The snow was wonderful, about 18 inches of powder on a good hard pack.

Riding on powder is like floating on smooth water.

Had the camera along to take winter photos and thought I had some 

really good shots.  Till I put them on the computer, to see that the 

vibration of the snowmobile had make them all blurry.

Turning on and off the sled sounds easy enough, "If it was an electric start!'

No..... my sled is the...... "Put the rope type"

It's just more trouble then it's worth.

I'm thinking, maybe asking JS for a new machine with key start and reverse?

I'll get back to you with how JS liked that idea........LOL

Paul Bunyon Bonfires

Thursday of last week, we met with the loggers to burn the slash

piles left from the logging, on the new mountain property.

Three of our workers came to help, it took all day.

Nine piles in all, it wasn't as scary as I thought it would be,

but sure glad it's done.  Can't wait till spring, to see what 

it looks like after setting through a winter.

Paul Bonyon would be proud.

Sunday Stills, In The Air

This should be tiled "Over the Water", instead of  "In the Air".

These two babies where all by themselves, no mama in sight.

They would take quick fights around in circles and come

 to the shore and stand awhile, never leaving each others side.

It bothered me that they were alone and so young.

Their is a pair of nesting Eagles at Little Grass Valley lake

and I know what happens to the baby geese.

Never the less, they where fun to watch.

If anyone knows what they are?  They stand about 14 inches high.

  I have never seen them before, or adults that look like them.

Sunday Stills, Winter Pics

"IT'S HOT"  Ed at Sunday Stills, challenged us to fine some old

winter pics from our archive, to cool off.

The first one is of our cabin and the second is looking at the lake,

 the winter before last.   We got 22 feet of snow that winter 

before it was all over.  Last year we maybe got 5 feet.

Don't forget to make the rounds over at Sunday Stills

 and see all the ......... COOL PICS !!!

Sunday Stills, Roads

This is the road traveled between home and the

 mountains most every weekend. 

I Love It.
