Rock Plodder

These are a pair that hang out in our backyard most of the winter. I don't know if they are the same ones but we see them every year.

Yellow and black Townsend's warbler, sitting in a snow covered red cedar in March.

Snowing today, so I've got next year's Christmas card

That wetland looks happy!

I've only visited twice, first time was in the mid 70s. But that was my favorite spot to sit and think about the people who lived in the canyon.

That's plenty! #parkchat

A12 Join us! We'll save some treats for you! #parkchat

A11 We spent a lot of time in NPS visitor centers looking at art & books when the kids were young - still do now that they are grown. I hope the NPS can keep making it own decisions on the art it wants to present #parkchat

A12 always up for posting a question if you need help #parkchat

And aliens will recognize how amazing our photography skills are #parkchat

I always think parks & non - electric music were made for each other (timing dependant). Once my daughter played fiddle in Heart O the Hills campground ONP (mid day) & got applause from the other camp sites #parkchat

A7 My best friend from highschool went to a Kodak School & ran his own color lab for developing prof photographer film - got out just before digital. Learned a lot from him but I never carried a camera (just DSLR) until recently. #parkchat

Are you using a view camera? That's amazing #parkchat

I like this view of my wife just outside our tent with the sun rising over Yellowstone Lake behind her. #parkchat

Whoa! What a shot! #parkchat

View of New Zealand Treaty Grounds & Bay of Islands from a forested ridge in Piahia NZ

On our recent NZ trip I set out with a my morning mug (& no other supplies) just intending to inspect a nearby trail, ended up a couple of km later at this great ridgetop view #parkchat

First thing I pulled out of the cabinet, I guess it is a Pendleton though. Holds a lot of coffee #parkchat

Wow! #parkchat

And this print is very cool #parkchat

A4 My wife is the art collector and we have park artwork that competes with, well, lots of natural science artwork for wall space. Somewhere I have a very unique framed print of Zion, buts it's large & I think in storage right now. #parkchat

That photo say it all about Denali! I hope you have it framed somewhere. #parkchat

View from North Rim, Grand Canyon National Park

A3 The Grand Canyon always does that for me #parkchat

That's awesome! #parkchat

How many kids do you have? Thinking you are way too modest with the juggling #parkchat

I can point out the beavers (almost every else already knows what they are though) #parkchat

Nice poster! #parkchat

Hi! Just back from shorts weather in NC, enjoying cold crud Seattle weather - than means desperately needed Mt snow!
Here for some NPS art chat! #parkchat

Quick travel q - I'm looking at a short window to visit Yosemity for a couple of days in early May (detour from the Bay Area). Tent camping in the valley is already booked, but USFS CGs along Hws 120 & 140 still have res. available-thoughts?. Any suggestions appreciated! #parkchat

Black and yellow Townsend's warbler in a dark green western red cedar

Black and yellow Townsend's warbler looking directly at the camera in a dark green western red cedar

Back from the heat of early summer in the southeast to needed cold wet spring in the PNW.
The Townsend's warblers are finally slowing down enough for a few photos.

Im in central NC where the family is split 50/50 UNC/DUKE (the rivalry game Sat was something) but today's connections threw me off.

Yes 5. Now can someone help me with today's connections?
