Project 365

I found a dead pigeon!!!! Had to get some pictures of the wings, as they make good references for drawings. He grossed Jeremy out. I thought he was nifty. I put him in our composter to decompose. And then I'm keeping his skull :)

Pretty view from Mt. Evans.

Rainbow trout!!!
This is from a small lake in Breckenridge, Colorado. We took a mini vacay there a couple of weeks ago. The fish were HUGE and you could feed them! Yay!
Ayden loved watching them. You'd toss in bread and they would leap out of the water at it!

ELKEN!!!! And Project 365

OMG I'm lazy!!!! So this post is Project 365 for Sunday AND Monday. And awesome pictures of ELKEN!!!! That's what I use as plural for elk. Even though "elk" is the proper term for multiple elk. And for a singular elk. See? I just taught you something.

You're welcome.


But I like to call them elken. Mainly because I'm awesome like that.


Anyway, we went to Estes Park on Sunday for the Scottish Festival. The highlight of the festival were the wild elken that were not part of the festival (Estes is a mountain town - there are elken everywhere). And that I got some delightful Lemon Curd (basically a creamy, lemony spread of the GODS!).


I love lemon.


The festival was $25 a person. A person. We thought it was free. But we went with friends and thought it would be rude to drive 3 hours and be all screw this! It's expensive! So we sucked it up and dropped $50 to get in (luckily Ayden was free). There was lots of Celtic dancing, bagpipes, traditional Scottish games (that we couldn't play because they were a competition), and tons of overpriced food and souvenirs.


For example, we found the Baird family tartan (yes, Jeremy is half Irish and yes, I know it was a Scottish festival, but there was Irish stuff there too). To buy a scarf in the Baird colors . . . .$26. For a scarf.


We didn't buy it.


Then we got a snack. A meat pie. Basically a small potpie. We split one and got a bottle of water. $9.50.


To recap: Elken and Lemon Curd = Awesome, Scottish Festival = expensive and somewhat boring.


On to the pics!

This elken looks sooooooo happy!! He was sleeping in the shade, enjoying himself.

Us, with the elken and the lake in the background.

OMG ELKEN!!










This guy was proud of his harem.

Hooray for elken!!

This pic is actually for yesterday (Saturday).
My new painting, titled "So Close, Yet So Far"
It's a painting representing bipolar disorder (which I have). There's a TON of symbolism in this painting.
Of course, I'm too lazy to explain right now XD

Project 365 - My hubby and I rescued a sparrow!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh. House sparrows are my favorite bird. EVER!!!

And we had the privilage of rescuing a male house sparrow! We kept him safe, fed him and gave him water, and kept him as stress free as we could. And he perked up and took off!!!
