More Color and Textures

 

The beauty of the rose flower and the threat of the rose thorn always come together.

Flowers and Colors

After lots of eagles and herons eating fish, I thought you'd enjoy a few days of color from local places in Snohomish. These are some of the flowers from around our neighborhood in the spring of '24.

More Forest-y Bits

The forests can feel more encapsulating when seen in B&W. the contrast is lowered and the scene is darker.

PNW Forest

Here in the Pacific Northwest, we live in a temperate rainforest. The near constant rain from November to May or June, means that everything from the roofs of houses to the limbs on trees are upholstered with moss and lichen, and the understory is carpeted with ferns.

Eagles and Trees

Our friend from the last posting that seemed in a hurry to escape from a raven, was not actually the goal of the raven's flight. He was just passing through. Yet, the eagle still seemed pissed that he has to deal with the interloper at all.

From the Eagles' Point of View

Circling for a landing, this eagle is eyeing a good spot for lunch. Apparently, the service is pretty good and the price is right.

Eagles Everywhere

We see our pugilistic friends in the background as the local stakeholders sit and watch, "ain't none of my business!".

Survival of the Fittest

Eagles, like all other wild animals, work hard for a living. As these birds approach maturity, their battle wounds begin to show.

Eagles on the Wing

Perhaps because the fish are more active, the eagles got more active as the day went on.
