Did you see this rare phenonium?

Obviously, this picture was not taken in Tonasket! LOL I used the photo because it’s the closest to what I saw. I was changing water in our field when the immensity of the sun’s halo amazed me.

Enjoy a performance of “TheContinue reading “Christmas-card-like Bavarian Village”

Prehistoric Hunting Tools in E. Wenatchee part II
