My mother photographed these monkeys while visiting the Jigokudani Monkey Park in Japan. Jigokoku means "hell" and Jigokudani translates to "Hell's Valley", named due to the bubbling boiling water these monkeys so comfortably lounge in.

Garden: Wintered Wild Rose BerryWell, winter is upon us now. I took this photo last week during the (early for the Tri-Cities Washington area) first snowfall. It's of a lone wild rose berry that remains on the snow dusted rose bush. Also, did you know these berries are edible?

Scenery: Horse Drawn Hayrake (Central Oregon)This hayrake was on the ranch I grew up on. We lived there in the 1950's, and remembered this rake as always being there. It is a horse drawn rake, of course, so was never used.

Garden: Sun PorchNow that the cold weather has set in, I look at this picture of my sun shiny porch and wish for spring. Each morning in warmer weather, I thank God for the warmth of my surroundings, the tree, the birds singing, the smells of Spring flowers and new mown grass in Summer.
