Retired museum educator, nature photographer: wildlife, birds, orcas, northern lights, anything that is difficult to catch. Lover of family, woods, water, sunsets and good friends.
Close to my house I have been hearing barred owls and yesterday I spotted them. Today I went back to the same spot and found them again. Shooting owls can be a challenge as you never know what you might catch! Same barred owl before and after possession. #owl #pnw #nature #birds

Western spotted coral root is one of my favorite wild plants in the woods of the #pnw. I found this one while on a neighborhood walk. #flowerfriday

A trip to the ocean is good for the soul! And good friends make it even better. Here are a few of the shorebirds that were cooperative. Black-bellied plover, dunlin and sanderlings. Thank you @peggymuzzleloader.bsky.social

A beautiful purple finch gracing the cedar tree in my yard. I love that they look like they have a raspberry wash all over. Unlike the brown wings and striped white and brown of the house finch. #birds #nature #photography #purplefinch #pnw

I haven't seen any rufous hummingbirds yet this year. Here is one from last year. I was surprised they use cattails for their nests.

Another common loon as this one popped up in front of me for a hot minute. I find them stunning to look at.
