Flustered Kingbirds

My little Kingbirds are back again this year, nesting in the same nest on the telephone pole that they used last year.  They are really a cute little bird but tend to get really flustered when I go out the door.  Tonight I was able to get a few videos of them to show you just how flustered they get.  You will have to excuse the camerwoman, by-the-way.....do you know how difficult it is to actually take a video of a flustered, flying around the sky, not liking you are there, Kingbird.

Bubbling Water from the Dam

Today we (my sister, her husband, and myself) went up to see how much water was in the reservoir.  The video show how much water is coming out of the pipes below the dam.  There is quite a bit of water but I have actually seen more coming out at another time.  Still impressive, though.  Just looking at all the bubbling water that is caused from the amount of water coming out of the pipes, can you imagine the undercurrent that is caused from all that water.

22 Rifle Target Practice

Yesterday, my sister, her husband and I decided to get in some target practice.  All we took were our 22 rifles, but we had a great time none-the less.  The gun I use is sited in fantastic.....rarely do I miss my target.  I know, don't break my hand patting myself on the back, right.  I have been raised around guns all my life, with my father teaching gun smithing at a college in Orem, Utah, and doing lots of work on guns out of our home.  I haven't been target shooting since being married, except for the last month and it's been a blast.  Memories, it sure brings back memories of my youth.

Grilled Salmon

A few nights ago, my sister, her husband, my husband, and I had grilled salmon.  Thanks to Dean (my brother-in-law), we had ourselves an excellent meal.  He brought the salmon and did all the cooking on a volcano stove.  Just look at those salmon steaks........they made your mouth water just looking at them before they had even finished cooking.  Towards the end of the grilling process, they were smothered with butter, which really put out the smoke from the grill.  Besides charcoal, he also used apple wood, which did a wonderful job of enhancing the flavor.  The salmon tasted so-o-o-o-o-o good, that everything else seemed pretty hum-drum. Are ya hungry yet?
