Friday Shoot Out Letter "M"

Here is..M for Maniac - not for the ride - which I soooo wanna do - but the water is snow melt and about 45 degrees! I think I'll wait till August thank you.

I told you this week was all about the camera, I promise more diversity next week. So I have joined the "Friday Shoot Out" this week is Letter M. Thank you Audrey.....so much fun!!!!

So last Sunday, I went out looking for "M" pictures....and I know this is in honor of sweet little peanut who's name starts with this wonderful letter (go see Lulu)but.....honestly I could not think of many "M's". Always wanting to be different, I had to really think about this one so I left the family at home with Jim and went tootling around town... here are a few "M's" I found around Coeur d Alene.....

Please click on the picture for a larger version....


Here is Mudgy the Moose..a local children's author wrote a delightful book about a walk around Coeur d Alene. Of course we are partial to moose here in the North West!

You cannot walk around Coeur d Alene with out seeing Maples - they are everywhere. Fall is stunning here!

This time of the year maple seeds are everywhere..especially attached to the cat and shoes, which all come into the house.....

Here is my beautiful "M" Miss Mhanon...peanut butter and all

A Map of my very favorite place to hike...Tubbs Hill.

Don't you love our city's NW porta potty decorations....see the Moon? That is the Coeur d Alene Resort behind the pottys.

Here are several Masts on our lovely Lake Coeur d Alene. We are a summer haven for boaters. The lake is large enough for sailing - I do love the sail boats.

A corner of Tubbs Hill...it offers a stunning, high up view of the lake...but ya have to hike around about half way.

The Marina...a small part of it anyway....

So...I hope you enjoyed my little tour of my town and a few "M's".

I'm off to see everyone else's! Namaste, Sarah
