See? Bald eagles are so ubiquitous (can there be degrees of ubiquity?) that the local paper’s photographer went out the other day and found several. Click to see gallery. I love how you can really tell it’s fish and crab in the eagles’ mouths. She probably has a better telephoto lens than I do. Mine’sContinue reading “The Birds”

The ubiquitous eagle
Hooray for bald eagles! I moved to this state in January 2003, during the heart of eagle season along the Skagit River. You were supposed to be able to drive upriver and see little white heads all over the place. My mom and I went up there, and I went up there again a fewContinue reading “The ubiquitous eagle”
Vision quest
While I was on the mother of all hikes yesterday, I started to feel like I was on a vision quest. That I was supposed to push myself to the point of exhaustion and delirium. Maybe my spirit totem would appear. For a lot of the journey, I was on my own. I kept fallingContinue reading “Vision quest”
Cotton Kills
A couple of jobs ago, I met some coworkers in the office parking lot on a Saturday morning for a hike at Mount St. Helens. It was summertime, so I wore a pair of camouflage shorts (in protest of the war, and cus they make me look like Avril Lavigne) and a white T-shirt. SomeContinue reading “Cotton Kills”
Awwwww
Cutest baby seal ever to have its life destroyed by a human.
A girl and her fish
My coworker has a theory about using pictures of dead fish as much as possible. I’m not sure what the theory actually is, but clearly, I’m a believer.
1st Salmon
My favorite picture of the day. I’m especially proud that the horizon is straight. I seem to have a problem holding my camera level and it’s not so good when there’s a slanted ocean in the background. This is the remains of the first salmon the tribe caught this season, after it was tasted byContinue reading “1st Salmon”
My footprint
It feels good to look at these suggestions for reducing my carbon footprint, and say that I’m already doing some of them. In fact, I just planted a tree last weekend (after getting it free at an Earth Day event). And I just learned that I shouldn’t leave my cell phone charger plugged in allContinue reading “My footprint”
Field notes
Two observations: When I try to take pictures of people doing something, inevitably they have their backs to me. If possible, I walk around to the other side and usually can get a shot of the face. Makes me wonder if there’s something instinctual about turning away from the camera, even when they’re not reallyContinue reading “Field notes”
Get sprung
Yup. It’s here. Sposed to get into the 70s today. Quite a change considering it hailed on Sunday. I plan to take both my dog and my iguana out when I get home from work today, because sadly, it’s supposed to rain tomorrow and Sunday. This is definitely a day when I should find aContinue reading “Get sprung”
