A Walk Around the Farm and Forest

 Looking out into the pastures below my parents’ barns.

 Llamas coming for a closer look.

 


 

 

 

  The railroad trestle.

 

 The creek was flowing right along.

 

 

 A big maple tree.

 The trestle through the trees.

 Looking up through the woods.

 An old bottle in a small creek tributary. 

 A small waterfall.

 

 

 Tree ferns on an old rotting log.

 Poofy trying to have me pet her while I was trying to take a photo of her.

 

 In the back acreage.

 Looking out into the Willamette Valley above Rex Hill Vineyard.

 Looking down toward Chehalem Valley.

 

Unexpected Baby Llama

Yesterday I got a call from my parents that a new, unexpected baby llama had been born.  I went up to Newberg to help with the baby and check out the new addition to the farm.  I found a wonderful, healthy little girl.

 All of the other llamas were very interested in the new arrival.

 

 

 

 

 

 Yes, she’s adorable.  One day she’ll be as big as all of the other llamas.

 

Snow on the Farm

 When I visited the farm the other day, I found snow on the ground and more falling from the sky.

 Big fluffy flakes!

 

 

 The flowers emerged a little too early.

 It wasn’t much snow but it did make everything very pretty.
