growing girl

Here are some photos of Jossie. Starting with her triangle ears stage.
Look, I sneak up on Reena, the big scary dragon. You can't quite see Reena's look here, but is was priceless.


Do I look like her? I want to be just like her when I grow up.

Then here's her awkward tippy ear stage.

Then her HOLLY BAT ears stage. Don't think she will grow out of this one. Looks like every other one of Zips kids. And she used to be soo cute. Poor thing.

And she has finally gotten to "big enough to play with the big boys" stage. Or get eated by them, depending on your skill.

Even Reena joins.

All three! The sun rays are Reena's tail. The best shot I could get. But they were all playing together. I never thought that day would come.

And that's pretty cool

About a month ago I went out with a coworker to pick up a wolf call box she had set up in the woods, and I got a few photos. Just a little baby bird. Cool.

We ran across a mountain lion track. Pretty cool.

Not far away we ran across the lions kill cache which they bury and return to later. Pretty cool. We found an elephant head flower (Pedicularis greonlandica). Can you see it, the trunk and the ears... pretty cool.

On our way out, we ended up at a FS lookout tower, overlooking the Kootenai valley and Bonners Ferry. Pretty Cool right.
