Back From The Cabin

Sasha & I resting - it had been a long day. We were at Black Beach Resort & RV Park on Curlew Lake outside of Republic, Washington. As you can see Sasha was the one resting. I was on watch and guarding the place from any intruders. There were LOTS of geese wanting to come here but when they saw me - they stayed away. Smart huh?! We couldn't go inside the fancy trailer our humans friends had. That was OK. It was nicer being outside watching everything.
This is the most interesting pile of dead wood etc to explore. Sasha & I spent a lot of time here during our time at the cabin. Mom will use some of those pictures in the next post. This was taken before we went to Curlew Lake. This picture was at Bonaparte Lake Resort. Mom & Dad said there were LOTS of these swallows flying around. They are very fast flyers. We didn't get to go to Bonaparte Resort when they went there to meet friends for breakfast.
The front of the Restaurant/general store at Bonaparte Lake Resort. All kinds of stuff on the front. Everything from wagon wheels to OLD pigs heads/skulls, old license plates, washtubs, etc.
These spinners were sure pretty in the sun and breeze.
Very rustic and peaceful there. They rent boats and lots of people fish there.
Bonaparte Lake
Mama duck and her many babies. They were so busy eating they didn't mind Mom sneaking up on them to take their picture.
Another view of Bonaparte Lake.
After Bonaparte Lake the friends came to our cabin and later we all went to Curlew Lake and the resort. This is the picture of a bald eagle soaring and hunting. This was as close as Mom could bring him in with her camera.
Curlew Lake. We sure would have liked to go in the water but near the shore was lots of mushy stuff and lots of grass & weeds in the water. People were fishing and it was probably better we stayed away from their lines.
It might be hard to tell but all those little whitish things were baby fish. Don't know the name of the type but we heard that sometimes the fish are 5 feet or more long. That's bigger then me (Ernie). I really didn't want to try to outswim or get in their way.
It was a beautiful day. Sunny, warm, beautiful scenery and clouds in the sky.
We had fun but we missed all of you. It's good to be back but we will be going again in a couple of weeks.
We appreciate all of you who visit us.
Wags
Ernie & Sasha
