Coots cooting #birds
Lots of coots swimming fill the entire frame. Each is black, with a black neck and head, and a white beak. There are dozens in the photo, all facing to the right, and the group of coots fill the entire frame of the photo.

You inspired me to go back to my photos from Montenegro from a year and a half ago. Here are a couple!
A farmer stands near old, gnarly olive trees. The sun shines high over a Bay with bright blue water. The sun reflects off the water. A small island is directly ahead. Hills to the left and right frame the entrance to the bay.

Mergansers mergansering
Three mergansers are swimming. A female with brown head is swimming closest to the camera. Behind her and a bit in front is a male merganser with a black head. Both are looking forward. Behind both of them is a male merganser with black head; its head in the water as it is feeding on something.

Tiny mushroom sprouting from an old post. Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge.
A tiny mushroom is growing out of the sawn end of an old wooden post. The cap is white, the stem brown. You can see the rings in the log used for the post and a rotted area behind the mushroom.

Good capture! Here is a photo I was able to get today, but not nearly as impressive. Salmon are balm for the soul.

Balm for the soul. Salmon reminds us about the long journey upstream. Nature is healing.
