We don’t always have clear nights to enjoy full moons, but it seems like a regular occurrence this year. This September we had a beautiful display by the Harvest Moon over Puget Sound as it rose over the South Sound. I have selected only a few of the photos taken.

Firwood Farm Alpacas

We spent some pleasant time visiting Firwood Farm Alpacas in Fife, Washington. Firwood Farm Alapacas is focused on Alpaca Rescue, so it has a great mission to rescue and foster alpacas in need.
