A SCENIC OUTING IN NORTHWEST USA
As some of you know I took yesterday off and went on an outing with my son-in-law. He and my daughter and have small weekend get away place north of where we live, in the state of Washington. Here is 2 photos from their shared dock overlooking the Pend Oreille river. I found this on line in Collins dictionary:
Fr pend(re), to hang + oreille, ear: name given by the Fr to local Salishan Indians who wore ear pendants
Now for the photos (these are from two different directions:
We went through part of the Kalispel Indian reservation. As you will see there was a field of buffalo that I was able to get one decent photograph. Next trip I want to have my zoom lens figured out better for closeups: ( found the following in definition of Kalispel in Wikipedia)
PBS - THE BUFFALO WAR: The Buffalo
We also stopped at the following:

Here is a ceremonial table carved out of rock inside the cave:
Looking out:
The next few are some of the rock formations just outside the cave:
To close out this post I found the following wildflower growing just outside the cave:
