Flying in Forks

We get all sorts of flying machines here in Forks.

Memorial Day here in the US

Memorial Day pays tribute to the those who have given their lives

while serving our country.

We give our thanks to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice

for us, for the U.S.

Land of the Free, because of the Brave.

Birdfeeder visitors

The front bird on the right has some interesting markings. Different from the usual.

I haven't looked him up in the birdbook yet.

This was taken a few days ago. The storm we needed, with the rain, has finally arrived. Our rain is at about 33 inches for the year now. Still a ways to go to normal, but it's going.

Mill reopens with new purpose

A local mill, the Rosmond (sp.?), has reopened as a variety of ideas after renovations.

It was renamed the 110 Business Park (its on Hwy 110 just outside Forks). The downed tree behind it has been a landmark at the site for a long time. The truck gives some perspective of the size of the tree.

This piece is the nice landscaping in the middle of the grounds (I like the bridge), and the roundhouse is a gathering area under cover. It had a flea market in it today. After the rains today, the bridge probably had a little river running under it.
This is an indoor archery range that was getting a lot of attention at its grand opening today.

There was free target archery in a restricted area (for safety). They were shooting at a launched decoy. The kids to the left in the picture were doing the launching with what looked like a fixed bow. Clever set-up, and very safe.

Sunrise in Forks

Just before the sun cleared the hills.

There's a storm a comin'

Well, there was at the time. This is from a couple of weeks ago - the day changed from blue skies to dark gray clouds. It just depended on which direction you were looking.

The What!? jumped over the moon?

A local paraglider presented me with this picture I just couldn't resist.

You have to zoom in to see the detail of the glider.
