Walking the woods always seems to do me good. The filtered light, large trees and smells of the plants have a therapeutic effect for sure. Fisher Pond trails on Vashon Island, WA.

Mighty Mink
While out at a local lake on our kayaks we were treated to a very unexpected sight…a mink hunting crawfish. This guy/gal was working the shoreline and caught at least two crawfish while we watched from out in the lake on our kayaks. We had no idea mink lived along the shores of this lake and have never seen one before. Another reminder that those little moments sure can make your day.
Still Sunny
Another sunny day with wonderful flowers in bloom up high in the mountains.
days end
Peeking out through a slot in the rocks into the great pacific ocean. This days end was filled with light. Yashica A TLR and Kodak Tmax 100iso film.
Red Necked Grebe
A Red Necked Grebe on her nest somewhere in Colorado. After we saw and photographed this Red Necked Grebe we did a little research and found out through the bird watching grapevine this was the first pair to have ever been reported to be nesting in Colorado. A week latter, in what must have been an attempt to provide this pair some privacy, all information about this pair on the aforementioned birding website had been removed. We hope their nesting was successful and they return again next year.
Ubiquitous?
Well maybe not but close. Everywhere I seem to go the American Robin is there with me. From the backyard to the forest and this day on the coast and finding a juicy meal in the seaweed to boot. West side of Vashon Island, WA.
Sparrow
A good looking Sparrow if I can say so myself.
Patient Hunter

Free
A Raven soaring below us high on the cliffs along the Oregon Coast.
Freedom to roam is freedom indeed.
Mountain Goat
One of my favorite animals is the Mountain Goat so I was pleased to be able to spend some time watching a few feeding down low in Yellowstone National Park one late spring afternoon. Usually we need the spotting scope just to get a glimpse of these guys feeding high up on the steep cliff faces but this day we got lucky and were able to get fairly close. Beautiful animals for sure.
