Spokane's Woman's March 2020

WOW! Huge turnout for the woman's march held in downtown Spokane today 1/19/2020. From all walks of life they came, shouted, chanted and celebrated the issues they felt needed to be addressed. Snow showers didn't dampen the spirits of the marchers. A counter pro-life parade was also held and anti-abortion and religious types manned their posts from across the street and made their voices heard.
My biggest take away was the inclusiveness of the Woman's March attendee's. Come as you are, all are welcome.

Spokane Fire Department Winter water rescue practice

Had a really cool time photographing the Spokane Fire Department practicing winter water rescue techniques on the pond at Eagle Ridge today. The guys were using sleds for going across the frozen water, getting out of the water when they had fallen in etc. If any of us ever need rescuing we will be happy they know how to do it for sure!

Gonzaga & Manito Conservatory Christmas

Took a walk around Gonzaga University yesterday and was  met with pretty Christmas lights. I was also pleased to meet Chloe, the Shih tzu and her mom who were on campus. Inishowen, an Irish Water Spaniel, and his parents were walkin the trail near Gonzaga. He was having a wonderful time with his ball in the snow. A beautiful time of the year for enjoying the sights and sounds on the trails and parks in our area.
Took a walk through Manito's Gaiser Conservatory on Wednesday to look at all the pretty holiday lights. It never fails to thrill!
Happy Holidays to all!
