CHERYL'S NEWS FROM CAMP WEBEGONE
Spreading Dogbane
It has been a gorgeous year for blooming flowers. Rich and I have been told that there is more variety of flowers this year as there has been more rain.

Living in Portland I look forward to the variety of Fall blooms. At Natural Bridge Campground there are no Fall blooms. The are, however, many fruits. We are enjoying the variety of fruit. 
Queen's Cup, fruit
 The squirrels eat any nut they can find: pine cones, dog wood fruit and strip the filbert trees. One morning Rich and I watched a squirrel travel to and fro with a pine cone in its mouth until a great northern owl swooped in. Fortunately there was a douglas fir tree close, so the squirrel escaped. 
 
Oregon Grape, fruit
Rich and I had a great close up view of the owl as it flew straight toward us. I wondered if we were going to be its breakfast. But it swooped up and away in time.
