    pretty little waterfallYesterday we decided to take our chances in the rain and go for a walk on a trail that goes along the Salmon River. It was gorgeous. There were a number of little waterfalls that we had to jump over, this one being the prettiest. We stopped here for a moment so Raf could take a picture of me wearing my finished Striped Scarf. Then we were on our way. We crossed a bunch of really cool little bridges, some of them slightly treacherous with wobbly slats. Then we found a few hike-in campgrounds right on the river. Someone had picked some wicked looking mushrooms and forgot to take them with them. We reached a bend in the trail and stopped for a moment to look at the scene. The sun had come out but there was a mist of fog in the colorful trees across the river. It was a gorgeous sight.

    As we were driving back I looked up and the sun was hitting the top of one of the smaller peaks in the foothills of Mt. Hood. There was snow dusting the trees. I made Rafael stop so could take a picture.

    There's snow up there!

    I’ve got a cobwebby brain today and don’t think I can put together a coherent blog post. So here’s a picture of a pretty flower I took in Santa Cruz. These grow everywhere down there and I love them. They are Amaryllis, AKA Naked Ladies.

  • Book Talk Saturday: Dead Until Dark

    November 7, 2009

    Dead Until Dark (Sookie Stackhouse, #1) Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris

    My rating: 4 of 5 stars
    I became addicted to True Blood earlier this summer after I had heard so many people talking about the show. I had no idea it was based on a series of books until later on. Having watched all of the Season 1 DVDs I needed my fix, so decided to start reading the series.

    The book is pretty much exactly like the Season 1 of True Blood, with a few exceptions. I loved it. Sookie Stackhouse is a great character and I enjoyed her narration. Which is actually another difference between the book and the show. The story is told through Stackhouse and unfolds thusly, while the show is told from a more omniscient perspective and the audience is let in on things before Sookie is.

    Anyway, it’s a fun, quick read and I look forward to the other books in the series.
