About Me
There isn’t much to say about me; I live in a rural area in Washington state very close to the Canadian boarder. (USA side) I’m a mom of three kids; three large dogs; two new kittens; a cockatiel and probably a cupboard full of mice. Well.. because my kittens are lazy, fat and spoiled. I’m married and live in what I consider paradise (but doesn’t everyone claim that?)

I don’t have a webb site. Just writing to say I lived in Orient when I was very young. Our hired haand was named Alden. My friend Karen whose husband logged around there said that they knew someone by that name. We lived at the very end of a road by a small lake the next people toward town were named Douglas. The house was a great big log house and barn with livery stable or some like that. The place orginally belonged to a man by the name of George Hagle from Spokane.We lived there for about a year 1942 to 1943. I have great memories of there. There was even a phone with a crank of the wall below the stairs. It was a two story house and you could look out the upstairs windows down on a large meadow. I was I could find it again. thats all for now. Hope to hear from you… Sncerely Kay
Hi Kay,
Thanks for your comments. I can’t tell you how thrilled I am that I live here. I’m a big advocate of raising kids in the country as well as connecting us back to our roots. The historical roots are amazing arent they? Like the memory of a crank phone how cool is that? I’m so glad you shared your story. I think I may have an idea where you lived. There are only a few little lakes around that area. One of my girls are best pals with another little girls who live on a farm right next to Little Lake Pierrer. (my spelling is off there tho)It dries up in warms seasons. Thank you for your story sunshine!

hi! i like the photos in your entries.
Hi Lori,
I just came upon your website while I was looking for “types of deer in Northeast Washington State” and up popped your site. My husband and I live near Orient on Boulder Creek, so many of your pictures looked very familiar. I enjoy photography too and bought a digital camera after we moved here, mainly because of all the birds that we see here. We love it here too. In fact, Pierre Lake is one of our favorite places to “show off” to visiting friends. I enjoyed finding your website, enjoyed reading your comments about life up here in the “sticks”, and especially enjoyed the photos. I will visit your site again!

Thanks Kris! The amount of birds are amazing. My primary goal of the page really was to learn about birding (my grandmother was a master and I’m kind of okay - but getting better.) I’m glad you enjoyed the site. Anytime you’d like to contact me feel free to do so!
I was hoping you might be able to help me a bit. I am writing a book about Kelly Hill and need pictures of the area. Orient, Barstow, Marcus as well as the Kelly Hill cemetery and the Barstow Bridge. Would you be interested in doing anything like that…please email me at mymtndesert@gmail.com Thank You! Becky
I sent you an email. Thank you for the compliment. If you have any problems getting it… just let me know here.
Your photos are absolutely stunning
Thank you zenuria. I’m glad you stopped by and visited.
Hi there…stumbled across your website and can’t believe what a peaceful and beautiful site you have. Bald eagles in your back yard is fantastic. We’ve recently purchased a home in NJ and added several bird feeders and homes and in just a short year, we have a collection of birds and it’s so enjoyable to watch.
i’ve bookmarked your page for future sitings
warm regards, Denise
Thank your for the very sweet compliment Denise. I probably should spend more times doing other things but sometimes I just can’t. Thank you for stopping by for a visit and your welcome anytime. p.s. http://monarchbfly.com/ You’ll love this blog he posts birds I bet you see commonly.
Hi, Im from Orient, Born in Colville and raise in Orient and Kelly Hill. I not live in Tacoma with my fiance. We are coming home to get married. You’re right that is an absolutely beautiful place. And you spoke of Joe. He will know who I am. My Dad and him are best friends. Him, Steve, and my dad (Paul). I loved seeing you’re pics. I was getting a lil home sick. HAHA!
Peace be upon you,
It was referred to your site by Zenuria of Karma Web. You have some really lovely compositions here. I’m currently beginning a project called “Fill the world with birdsong” to promote birdsong to lay people like myself. This is an invitation to please pass by and visit- it would be an honour to have your participation.
Kind regards,
Dont be sad
