Friday fun again - and today is a very special Friday. It is our 51st anniversary. We have fun surprises planned for each other (I've seen gift bags going in and out lately) and dinner at a nice steak house.
1. The leaves are beginning to change color - soon the trees behind this Vine Maple will be bright yellow. We get glorious autumn colors here in the Pacific Northwest
2. A funny sign. No - not acupuncture for little hamsters - the residents of Bellingham are called Bellinghamsters - clever use of that for a business name.
3. Some critters - I really enjoy finding critters to photograph (bet you didn't know that about me)
A Cormorant sitting on a piling by the ferry dock on Lummi Island. The noise of the ferry didn't seem to disturb it in the least. The feather pattern is beautiful.
A Great Blue Heron surf fishing in Birch Bay
And a nice spotty horse
And what kind of critter is this? A light up christmas pig high in a tree in the summer? Merry Oinkmas!
4. The last of the summer nasturtiums in the morning light
5. And a beaver lodge in a small local lake. One time we were lucky enough to see A Great Blue Heron perched on the beaver lodge
6. And just because it is our anniversary I'll add a 6th item. This is us 51 years ago today.
Happy anniversary, wishing you many more happy years together. Loved the Christmas pig, it made me smile.
ReplyDeleteHappy Happy Anniversary!! 1964 was such a tumultuous year. The civil rights movement. The woman's movement. Gloria Stienham came on the scene. Dr. King and Selma. I was just starting High School. So much has changed since then.
ReplyDeleteA fun post to read today. Great photos.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a very happy anniversary!

Happy Anniversary! Have fun today and may you make some more special memories!
ReplyDeleteLoved your explanation of "Bellinghamsters" -- so funny!
Happy Anniversary! - Hope it's a fun filled day of celebrating your love.
ReplyDelete1. Oh yes the PNW has awesome fall colors. - They are starting to turn here in my neck of the state.
2. - That is cute and clever.
3. No I would never have guessed that about you (just kidding) but your critters are great. Hmmm a Christmas Pig in a the air no less...that is just weird.
4. Very pretty.
5. That's a big Beaver Lodge and neat to see.
Five great things! Number two is my favourite, closely followed of course by number six! Happy Anniversary! Here's to many more great years of marriage to come! Thank you for joining Five On Friday. I hope that you have a great weekend! xx
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary to two lovely people who were meant for each other!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed your pictures today - especially the spotted horse!
Please let us know what was inside those gift bags that came marching in and out of the house lately!
Oh, Happy Anniversary!!!
ReplyDeleteLove your randomness...that nasturtium is beautiful...so is the cormorant.
Happy anniversary to you and yours! I love the flying pig.
ReplyDeleteAnniversary blessings, and many more. I have heard the expression, "a pig on a poke". I wonder if that is what it means. #1 son just celebrated his 4th anniversary far from home, still fighting those forest fires in Washington.
