We drove to Bothell last Tuesday early and spent several days with our Westside kids and we had a bonus visit with our Niece and our Grandniece. We were able to see our Grandnephew, too, at a choral performance. We drove back home on Saturday. I’ll post soon about our time away.
The photo collage is from our drive home on Saturday as the sun was rising and as we crossed the Vantage bridge over the mighty Columbia River.
On Saturday after we got home and unpacked this beauty entertained us.
Then during our relaxing afternoon after church this hawk paid a visit probably looking for that chubby quail!
Happy Victoria Day to our neighbors to the north in British Columbia.

Beautiful views of the river! I love the quail and the hawk images.
Take care, have a wonderful week.
…thanks, I forgot about Victoria Day!
Hi Ellen! Washington is indeed so beautiful! You captured some gorgeous sights! xoPom Pom
The quail has such beautiful colours – I hope the hawk didn’t get him. It’s a rather windy and cold Victoria day today.
Great bird pictures. He was definitely showing off!
Happy Victoria Day to our northern neighbors. A lovely time with your family sounds like. Gorgeous scenery! Loved the quail and even its predator, two beautiful birds, one being very happy no doubt that the other moved on.
Wow what beautiful scenery. That quail is a handsome fellow. Hope the hawk didn’t get him.
Sounds like a nice getaway and how awesome to see family. Love the photos and the quail is so pretty.
Beautiful views and it was fun to see a close up of the quail!
