Catchup

Okay, so I've got some serious catching up to do, but hopefully I'm on a role and will be able to keep the pictures rolling. Mostly just misc. crap for this installment except for the kitten montage, which is probably the best photo series this pathetic blog has ever experienced. Mel and I fostered a three-pack of kittens from the humane society for a week to get them socialized, and it was pretty fun. Nice to have them, but also nice to know that we didn't have to keep them, ya know? I had to wade through hundreds and hundreds of absurdly cute pictures and pick just the few that I'm sharing here. Poor Bella just about lost her mind. She did play well with them though, and in the end they loved her a lot more than they loved us. First is a shot of some late season glacier action up by Mt. Jefferson, followed by an unexplained shot of my friends John and Mark.

Next are a couple pictures from Marys peak on a nice misty day, followed by three pics from a work trip over to Eastern Oregon. The first is from the top of Lookout Mtn. overlooking the Ochico mountains (and the cascades in the distance). Next is a picture of Sheep rock. Finally is a pic I snapped in the Ponderosa forest by Black Butte. Neat contrast to the lush forests that we have just an hour away (on the rainy side of the hill).
