Eagle Cloud Formation

Amazing eagle cloud east of Hwy 97

We were driving to Omak on Monday and I saw this in the sky. By the time I reached for the camera and took a picture, half its head and right wing had evaporated. Before I could take a second pic, the whole right wing was a small puff. I have never seen anything as clearly as this and completely devoid of clouds elsewhere in the sky.

Aspen are in bloom

We are feeling the pollen and here is one of the sources. Things are blooming including the aspen around us. The blooms are looking like skinny, fuzzy caterpillars. Achoo!
In the Okanogan valley the fields are mostly green, flowers are starting to bloom and buds can be seen on lilacs. Snow is expected Sunday night.

Today is 100% chance of rain predicted for the Aeneas Valley and we already had some. Here is the sky I woke up to this blustery day. We can use the dust control and the pastures need water to boost the grasses. The wild horses have only been by once in the last week. The long-horn cattle came by with a newborn black and white calf. It was so cute. Sorry I didn't have any good pics to post of them.

Storm a coming!
