Did we mention that the mountain was out yesterday?

Full image Pacific Northwest fall colors

I waited for what seemed to be hours (maybe 30 min) in the rain waiting for some sun to hit the trees enough to pop the colors.
I love this time of year!

Fall leaves in Washington state

Despite the atmospheric river hitting the Pacific Northwest, and getting absolutely soaked on my outing, today was a beautiful fall day! ❤️
Peak colors for sure!

It’s not quite peak fall here in the Pacific Northwest, but moments like this stop you in your tracks. 🍂 The light, the quiet, that little red barn framed just right.

What’s your favorite part of fall where you are? 🍁

Thank you 😊

It was amazing how many species of birds I spotted along the shore of the Chobe River in Botswana.
This is the Pied Kingfisher. 🐦
Definitely not in the Pacific Northwest although we do have our own kingfishers here. #birds

🐘 ❤️
There was a quiet gracefulness of this elephant as he made his way through the bush, enjoying his morning. He seemed to be curious of us, but not at all worried. He approached our safari vehicle with caution but power. It was a truly magic moment.

Happy Father’s Day to all the amazing father’s out there, and to the ones we miss. ❤️
This colorful European Starling made a very brief visit this morning but I was able to grab this quick shot before it darted off again.

My Mt Saint Helens glass sort of looks like, well, you know.

Stay safe people!

Happy Friday! Where are my #bird lovers?
Cedar Waxwings have such a sleek and beautiful look.

Good morning Pacific Northwest neighbors! I hope you can find ways to stay cool today just like this little duckling 🐥. Spotted at Lake Chelan earlier in the week.
Stay cool! #photography

Here’s the cutest little baby duck I’ve ever seen!

This little spotted towhee was busy today! #birds

It’s definitely a bit sketchy and old. It’s a thing of beauty though in my opinion
