Southeast Spokane County Fair, Rockford, Washington

Went to enjoy the sights and sound of a small town fair in Rockford today. It did't disappoint! Folks were having a wonderful time riding the rides, eating good fair food and just enjoying the community coming together. Animals, handiwork, veggies and vendors were all there. This was definitely a 4 footed child friendly affair with many dogs in attendance.

Columbia Plateau Trail Amber Lake trail head

Went walkin the Columbia Plateau Trail off the Amber Lake Trailhead. Really neat to see the more arid and rocky landscape. Has the look of the Southwest to it. Not a lot of wildlife goin on right now, although we did surprise a few dear who spronged off. A Praying Mantis landed on some dry grass that was exactly the same color as he was. There were some really interesting plants.
