Emma Colley's Random Travels

..A Photoblog post of my random travels.

"The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer richer experience." Eleanor Roosevelt.

I am sharing some of my random travel photos, this is not only for my followers but more of a reminder for me and my hubby of where we have been and what we have seen over the years. All good memories for us, I hope you enjoy too.

Hello, I am sharing some scene from around Leavenworth Washington. The whole town is modeled after a Bavarian village.

I like the Bavarian style architecture.

In the distance, the Cascades Mountains.

The Wenatchee River.

Leavenworth national Fish Hatchery, gorgeous view of the mountains.

I hope you enjoyed! Thanks for stopping by, enjoy your day!

Camera Critters

For this weeks Camera Critters I have a few more critters we saw while on vacation in Washington State. One is a deer we saw during our hike on the lakeshore trail in Stehekin also a few goats some we saw penned up in the town of Leavenworth and some goats we saw while hiking at Artist Point, Mt Baker. The goats were far away and looked like white spots until we saw them get up and they started moving around.

I am not sure but I believe this a mule deer

Leavenworth goats, farm next to the sidewalk in town.

Mt Baker..From a distance the goats looked like white rocks on the ground that is until they got up and walked away.

I love animals....any kind of animal and seeing them wild and in their own habitat is a real treat for me.

Leaving Stehekin

On the last day at Stehekin we had just enough time to take the shuttle to the Rainbow Falls before we had to take the Lady Express back to Chelan. It was a one hour tour to the waterfalls and a stop at a one room school in Stehekin. The weather was beautiful and a great day for our boat ride back to our car.

Rainbow Falls

One room schoolhouse for Stehekin, it was in use until recently they built a more modern schoolhouse.

Lady Express leaving Stehekin, the skies were looking beautiful on our boat ride back to Chelan.

People riding jet skiis were having fun with the waves that were created from our Lady express boat.

After arriving back in the city of Chelan we hopped in our rental car and took off for our next stop along the Cascade Loop in the city of Leavenworth. You can see some of my Leavenworth photos here: http://viewingnaturewitheileen.blogspot.com/2010/09/leavenworth.html

Camera Critters..Black Bear..Leavenworth, Wa

MY Skywatch post now follows this Camera Critters post.

During our vacation last week we stopped in Leavenworth, Washington. I read about the Leavenworth Salmon Hatchery being a top place for birding. Being a birder I had to stop at the most popular place. Besides seeing the Salmon hatchery there are trails for walking and some lead to the rivers edge It was along the river we sighted this black bear. I just love seeing bears so this was one of the great sightings for me and all the great birds.

We were able to watch the bear across the river from us for awhile until something spooked it and it ran off. We stood watching the river for a while and then I noticed an American Dipper in the water. Very cool , the Dipper is a life bird for me. I will do a post on my Washington State birds at another time.
