Geocaching also brought my photography to the forefront in my mind. Through all the hikes and adventures we have been on I have had the camera with me since spring of 2006 and in this short period of time have evolved a style I consider very unique due to the places we go.
Today we headed up to Tonasket, actually our first time that far north since we've moved. Quite a cute town, but we headed off to the other side of the tracks to Chief Tonasket Park which follows along the Okanogan River. We found the first cache with no problem, it was just in extracting it that Shawn had some problems, as it was quite frozen in. We then trekked on for about 0.8 miles to the baseball fields. While I waited patiently (and eying the birds flying all over) Shawn bounded across the snow and found the second cache (#500 overall and actually third for the day).
Since my feet were nice and dry because I stayed behind while watching Shawn walk through the still very deep snow. I meandered back snapping photos of some waxwings and just plain enjoying the nice sunshine. I know Amy had taken some photos and when I got home I inspected her blog, inspected the web and compared my photos. I believe I have pictures of Bohemian Waxwings, but please point out if I am incorrect.

Awesome, gorgeous photos of the waxwings! I'm glad you didn't give away too much about the caches up north, we haven't made it up there yet. Congrats on #500! I think we're on like #8 or #9 (maybe not even that many, but Jeff leaves me out of the hunt sometimes when he's been off on adventures).
