Sorry to do another bird post so soon – it was only yesterday I shared with you the nesting house finches in my garden – but I couldn’t wait. Because even though the Goldfinch is the Washington State Bird, I rarely see them, especially… Continue Reading “A Visitation of Goldfinches! So I Thought!”

I went Looking for Ducklings at Coulon Park …
I walked as far north as the trail allowed – some parts are under construction. The Olympic Mountains were out, and so was the Seattle skyline. I saw moms walking Coulon style, turtles basking, fishes jumping, but no ducklings. Until I passed by the… Continue Reading “I went Looking for Ducklings at Coulon Park …”

I took these photos from my front porch this morning, and other than tending to the hummingbirds, I’m staying inside till it’s safe to go out.

And now for the Eagles – a Walk at Lincoln Park
Yesterday I shared with you the hummingbirds in my backyard; today I’ll share the eagles – okay, the eagle – that I saw last week before the weather went south. It was one of those beautiful blue-sky days that we sometimes get in Seattle… Continue Reading “And now for the Eagles – a Walk at Lincoln Park”

Looking for Cobalt and Finding it in Puget Sound
Who doesn’t love cobalt blue? So I went looking for some in my archives for the last color challenge of the year at Sunday Stills. That should be easy, right? The best skies are cobalt blue, and the sky is everywhere, after all! Ah,… Continue Reading “Looking for Cobalt and Finding it in Puget Sound”
