Added bonus - dinner with Martinus who brought several of his Antony fleet coins for me to see. Amazing shots! Thank you! The tulips in particular are stunning. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife and I used to hunt waterfalls, so we spent a lot of time exploring the mountains from Mt Shasta to Mt Baker. Being retired now my life revolves almost entirely around my boy Repo. He's an 11 year old flat coated retriever who rescued me when he was 10 months. At that time he had already been adopted and returned twice, hence the name. 🙂 Mt. Baker is about 30 miles away, the North and South Sisters, both with glaciers, are about 15 miles away. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Anthos Posted April 25 · Member Share Posted April 25 Mt Baker in Washington is about 250 north of me. The Sisters in Oregon are about 100 miles to the southeast. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeandAcre Posted April 29 · Member Share Posted April 29 Yipe. Just hope that he doesn't mess with anyone's, um, for one, cats. ...They're about to start reintroducing grizzlies into the North Cascades. Grizzlies get to be on their own scale, literally and otherwise. (And they will outrun you!) ...Thank you, the North Cascades aren't just rural; they're the nearest to wilderness anywhere in Washington state. Kind of called for, especially in that case. But, to further wallow in the obvious, when wilder members of our extended family show up in towns, it's always because they've frankly (/been) run out of more appropriate habitat. When that happens, the most I ever learned is to at least be as chill toward them as they are by temperament. ...At least when they're not hungry! If this guy is even still in the neighborhood, both sides are doing something right. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be powerless to prevent myself from playing with them and squooshing them every which way and bouncing myself off the walls, and other kidlike behavior they would likely frown upon. (I never fully grew up in some ways.) Edited yesterday at 12:44 AM by lordmarcovan Correcting autocorrect “correction”- it constantly changes “in” to “on”. Grrr. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonshaw Posted yesterday at 12:27 AM · Supporter Share Posted yesterday at 12:27 AM My main research interest is electrum Lydia lions, pre-Croesus. This lion decided to pay me a visit and got into my chicken coop the other day. He wouldn't leave until he had his fill, no matter how much noise I made. Not my favorite lion. mlione.mp4 1 5 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I never fully grew up on some ways.) They're soft - somewhat like the stuff used in flower arranging. You'd damage them if you bounced off the walls 😄 It's an impressive room which is also a Faraday Cage, so no 'phone reception or other radio reception inside. I was assured that the door opens from the inside and it did 😄 ATB, Aidan. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
