A Day at the Oregon Zoo

I can't remember who these curious little guys are...but they were in a woodstove.


These poor monkeys acted like they were all incarcerated. And the chain link didn't help either. Obviously one of the smartest of the zoo animals.

Freakin huge beaver - must have been 30 lbs.

This little black bear has a relative - the relative is much MUCH bigger than this one. If it wasn't for his roman nose I'd mistake him for a grizz.

G'Day Cougar - he was ruffling his bedding.

Pretty ducky - harlequin?

The zoo keepers give marine animals the rags from car washes - they make great nests apparently. I've never seen a sea otter on land.

This is ironic. A turtle with a tracking device.

Notice HUGE fish in the background..

Red Hemlock - Nice to see the world has some big trees still.

The Hood River Pad

Our house in Hood River

Kitchen/Dining Room - Stackable W/D behind the folding doors -

REALLY cool Brazilian Granite countertops...that little strip cost almost 4k!

Living Room - theres a TV in here but its hiding!

That's right - we even make the bed - for pictures at least.

Here's the downstairs 'bedroom' - its more of a space to do

school and yoga.

Its not purple, its periwinkle! A bit of an Edward Scissorhands' neighborhood. Apparently built by an associate of Bill Gates. Were sandwiched between a middle school, a creek and the Hood River Hospital. It gets a bit noisy but watching helicopters land on the roof of the hospital from the living room is pretty cool.
