3 more pictures and two note above! :) A few days ago, Steve took my camera to work because he was asked to take a picture of a local bridge. When he got there, he was astonished by the beauty of the park there, and today we went there together so I could take pictures! Riverside Park is small but very lovely, and borders the picturesque Rogue River. Steve told me about the geese he'd seen there, and he got some pictures of them the other day. I was especially excited to see if they were there today... YES THEY WERE!!! There were about 75-100 geese in the river and on the banks. They were not very timid so we were able to get very close. All of them were Canada Geese... except two! Steve and I had never seen a Greater White-Fronted Goose before and I was delighted that I was able to get nice pictures of each of them. The one in this picture was much larger than the other one, so we think it's a male, but we can't be sure. I spent a lot of time taking pictures of all the geese and have countless images that turned out nicely, but for now, I'm going to put 4 pictures up tonight, which include an image of the other Greater White Front and a crop to show its beautiful face, and also a Canada Goose with an red tree reflecting in the water where its swimming! ENJOY! (By the way, after I finished taking pictures of geese, I spent an hour or more wandering around taking pictures of leaves and trees galore...so many pictures, I had no time to look at any of them!! Another day! :D ) The Dalai Lama is a high lama in the Gelug or "yellow Hat" school of Tibetan Buddhism, founded by Tsongkhapa (1357–1419). The name is a combination of the Sino-Mongolian word dalai meaning "vast sea" and the Tibetan word meaning "guru, teacher, mentor". Wikipedia: Dalai Lama Explored on October 28, 2013.

Steve and I went on another ride today, and this time we stopped at a wonderful little farm where they grown and raise their own food, and have a large garden and all types of farm animals too. It would be a lot of work to do this, but I'm sure it's also very rewarding. I had a lot of fun taking pictures of the animals, and since I adore chickens, they are most prominent in this collage! Aren't they cute?! :D The Dalai Lama is a high lama in the Gelug or "Yellow Hat" school of Tibetan Buddhism, founded by Tsongkhapa (1357–1419).

Today Steve and I went on a hike on the Sterling Mine Ditch Trail near Jacksonville, Oregon. There were many wonderful photo ops, but this Red Bell flower is my prize of the day. This lily grows on our property but unfortunately, the only budding flower I found was eaten by a deer on the day it would have opened. Such a beauty!
