Lots of New Photos Added

I have been remiss in updating my website (too much time spent keeping the Bridge Lake Photo Group website current!).  So, today, I have added new photos, from the Ancient Forest, from Bella Coola and the Tallheo Cannery, and from Farwell Canyon.

Eakin Creek Canyon Park – May 2016 Additions

Larry Citra and I visited the Park last week and came away not only refreshed in spirit but also with a few photographs. I invite you to take a look.  Here are a couple of examples of what I saw.

Kaua’i Photos Added

Feral chickens, brought by the first Polynesian settlers, outnumber the human population of Kaua’i, even at the height of tourist season, by a wide margin.  They are everywhere and pretty, but the cocks crow constantly.

And in case you are wondering about their food value, here’s a recipe we were given:  take a large pot, fill it 2/3 with water, place a medium sized lava stone in it, together with the plucked and cleaned chicken.  Simmer gently until the lava stone is soft.  Chicken is ready to be eaten.

Here’s a more classic view of Kaua’i:
