Elly's moms invited us out to sunny Blue Lake for the Fourth of July
Friday-Tuesday, July 1st-5th, 2011
|
5: A California quail hesitantly approaches the nearby bird feeder |
6: Cautiously eating, whilst keeping a close eye on me |
|
9: …and then tells his hen that it is safe to come out |
10: Several kinds of birds congregate at the feeder, including this house sparrow |
12: Slightly different shot of the house sparrows |
|
19: Elly and Mandy immediately jumped in the water |
|
27: Pam, Quentin, Cheryl, and Cheryl's man relax on the banks of the lake |
28: A killdeer forages near the communal bathrooms |
|
33: This has been helpfully labelled, just in case you couldn't tell what it is for. |
34: The gang, outside the Dry Falls Visitor Centre |
36: Not only is it a dam, but it also has lasers! (Although these are Caution Lasers, rather than Danger Lasers) |
|
37: A view of the spillway from the dam's visitor centre |
40: We had excellent views of the Columbia River bridge just downstream from the Grand Coulee Dam while waiting for the dam tour to start |
|
44: Random dial on show during the tour. I'm sure this doesn't actually reflect a pertinent value, but it looked cool. |
|
45: Finally, we got to go up on the top of the dam itself. This shot is looking down on top of the spillway. |
|
52: We stopped off at a smll community fair in Grand Coulee |
|
53: And on the way back we passed a place that sold rocks |
55: Hollowed-out rocks for sitting! Or birdbaths! |
