2007
Joined Flickr. The coyote was my first post, I think.
'Discovered the wildlife refuge and birds, so bought my first "birding" lens. 'Spent most of my free time at the refuge.

2008:
Rusty joined our family.
Millie: my first cat TNR at the farm in Hockinson, WA...this is where it all began.

2009
Woodland WA Cat Colony created.
My beloved blue point Siamese, Pearl passed away.

2010
Annie--my dad's new dog.
I "discovered" mushroom/ fungi photography--and instantly fell in love.
I became consumed with macro photography....snails, insects being favorite subjects. Also frogs & praying mantids.

2011
TNR [ Trap/ Neuter/ Return] cats in full swing.

You've seen my world thru my daily posts these past five years. Thanks to all my loyal contacts who have been with me for all these years. Thanks to you newcomers too.

I wanted to find something really cool to photograph to commemorate my anniversary, but with all the gloomy rain we've had all month and being in a pretty deep photo funk right now, this is the best I could come up with.

I'm a bit behind on flickr....and hope to catch up tomorrow & this weekend.

I went with dad to my vet clinic this afternoon to have his dog Annie checked out. Dad's hearing isn't the best any more so I usually go with him to important appointments. Annie's teeth looked really bad on one side.....inflammed gums and lots of plaque. So she's going in tomorrow for dental cleaning and maybe extractions.

Update: 1/24/12
Annie had to have 14 teeth removed today. 14 !!!!! She's not even 5 years old. I am stunned. She'll be ok....but wow...what a shock.

It's such a rainy day so thought I'd take some pics of Jasmine inside. With all the cat TNR I've been doing this month and the wintery weather, some of her hikes were shortened-which we hate to do. So, today we went on a nice long hilly hike....it felt good ~

With the help of VCA East Mill Plain Animal Hospital, I was able to get many stray/ feral cats in for spay/ neuter this month. Kudo's to them for being so very very accommodating. Lots of female cats will not be producing kittens this Spring and all will be so much healthier. I am going to now take a much needed break.

No need to comment. I am just having fun with "picnik" before it is closed in April.
