Views of Sequim, the Olympic Peninsula. . .and beyond
These love birds (with a Brunnich’s Guillemot peeping tom below) were doing a reunited beak dance. Each time one came back to the nest they would rub their beaks together back and forth.
I took this at Alkefjellet in the Arctic.
While chasing my Kingfisher about, I stopped to take some new photos of the Railroad Bridge since they have straightened the approach from the Audubon Center.
Well, I am a Kingfisher…
I have been trying to catch a good Kingfisher in flight shot for 7 years! At long last. This guy was at Railroad Bridge Park, flitting in a triangle between two stumps and a tree. I spent about 3 hours there but finally captured quite of few shots I’m happy with.
Sorry all for the absence…my site was having technical difficulties!
Much of the ODT (Olympic Discovery Trail) is on what what the old rail lines and bridges. Johnson Creek near John Wayne Marina is one of those.
I got up nice and early so I could lay down and get this perspective without being run over by a bicyclist!
This is a beautiful sculpture at the Chihuly Glass Museum at Seattle Center.
I made it more artsy in post processing.
More spring flowers from heronswood Garden in Kingston. Can you tell I’m cold and want spring now?
This Baldy pair have a nest about 20 ft below on this snag. The one on the left is the female. They are about 25% larger than the males. Females weigh 10-15lbs and the males 6-9 lbs.
