ed: You've created a monster....more pix:



Early morning walk yesterday.



Grouse food (known locally as "high-bush cranberries"). You can make jam (and even booze) from them. They smell like dirty sneakers when you walk by them.



The 1905 version of plastic or...what a horn butt looks like on my 16.

They may smell like sneakers but the jam sure is good. We had a bunch growing on our property growing up and my brothers and I would pick them for my mom to jam out of. Along with plums and crab apples. About the only fruit that grows there. LOL

I live now about 2 miles from where, at age 14, I first picked what I think of as real fruit off a tree, warmed by the autumn sun and ate it. It was a pear and it was so wondrous to me, I can still taste it.

Years ago, friends looked at a lot with a view from McKinley to Augustine volcano from high on the hillside above Anchorage. They turned the lot down as something smelled dead on it. It later sold for multiples of their asking price. Cranberries were the culprit.

ed: I do actually have to remind myself of that reality every so-often here. My cell phone works most of the time now, as does my laptop, so the "real" world intrudes way-more than it used to. The only time it finally slips away and leaves me with my gun and the view in front of me is when I'm about a half-mile in and the cover starts to look very birdy...



After a storm here about 5-years ago. I'm surprised that there is another car in the shot. The paved roads here are long, straight, and mostly empty.



This was in the front yard at the house here, about 5-years ago as well.



This was off of the deck here, last Friday evening (grousmas eve). It's seldom this nice here, but every once in a while...

Another good day.





Shocking numbers of grouselouse on these birds anymore. They used to be uncommon, then occasional, then every bird had one. Now...every bird has two plus. Not sure how that affects them, but I can't imagine that it's beneficial. The sprucie my buddy shot was loaded with them.
