Wednesday Wanderings

On Wednesday morning, I dropped Sarah off at Sauvie Island where she joined others scouting for Raptor Road Trip (8 days away!).

The trees, such as this asymmetrical oak, looked great in the fog and early sunlight.

I spent the rest of the day working at the grandparents-in-law house dreaming of planting this year's garden in the spring.

I picked a few scarlet runner bean pods that had dried out on the garden fence.
I kept some of the the pink and black seeds to dry and plant next year.

I turned over a log behind the house and found a tiny salamander. I think it is an Ensatina.
