follow the path

winding through the hills of dishman you will see lots of pine trees and rocks.  was a great way to spend an evening.

where is your favorite place to go to for a walk or a hike?

hidden pond

in the hills of dishman there are a few ponds and this is the biggest one.  in a couple of months it will be bone dry though. but for now it is mosquito heaven.

Happy mothers day

well I think it is a weed but this time of year they are everywhere growing wild here in Spokane.  So I am calling it a wildflower regardless.  like the way the sun hit this one.





To all you moms many wishes on your special day

Edited to add the plant name is balsamroot. Thanks Linda from linas lens for letting me know.

dishman hills

last weekend we took a 4.5 mile hike in an area close to town   we had never been here before and went with a group we found on meetup.com.   was a lot of fun and a good way to unwind after work.  this coming off an 7.5 mile walk the day before for bloomsday.  crazy I know.

but isn't this view worth it??
