Sand Harbor in Winter – Perspective 3;
Sand Harbor Beach, Lake Tahoe, Nevada, USA; APR 2023

In April 2023, we visited the Lake Tahoe area. Coming off record snowfall, the houses on Route 89, along the Western Shore, were buried up to the roof tops. But along the Eastern Shore, the amount of snow was more manageable. The weather was overcast, windy and cold, though there were a few breaks in the clouds. Regardless of the weather, we visited Sand Harbor beach. It was a lovely experience; throwing snowballs, climbing rocks and at rare times, nice light.

The iconic bird Christmas card in the culture of the USA is “Currier and Ives” style Northern Cardinal, its bright red contrasting against a bright green holly bush capped with snow and adorned with red berries. I’ve never been anywhere that I have seen that scene in nature. A few weeks ago, I was in the Seattle area. It was a sunny day with blue skies and some American Robins were feasting on red berries from a Hawthorn tree. That’s close enough don’t you think?

To my friends and followers of the Christian faith, I wish you Merry Christmas. To my other friends and followers, I wish you Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanza, belated Diwali or whatever you celebrate. May we all regain peace and harmony,

Short-eared Owls

Some days you get lucky. My son and I were searching for birds to photograph in the state of Washington, USA. Traveling on a back road in an agricultural area, we found a group of photographers with big lenses. Of course, we had to stop. As it turned out, they were watching and photographing some Short-eared Owls that migrate into the area over winter. This was my first experience seeing Short-eared Owls and I was excited. What a blessing.

By the way, like the Long-eared Owl, it’s not the length of their actual ears that is responsible for their name. It is the length of ear-like tufts on their head.

Sunrise Over a Foggy Valley

Sunrise Over Foggy Valley – Perspective 1
Rattlesnake Edge Trail Overlook, North Bend Area, Snoqualmie Region, Seattle, Washington, USA; NOV 2023

I was visiting my family in the Seattle area. One day we got up early and went to a spot with great views of mountains and a valley. The only issue was that we were in the valley and had to hike 2 miles up the mountain in order to get to the overlook.

The Rattlesnake Edge Trail is a trail cut into the side of a steep mountain lying in its angle of repose. The elevation gain over the 2 miles is 1160 feet. I’m not ashamed to say that it was a tough climb for me, but I made it. We got there about 10 minutes before sunrise.

Waterfalls in Autumn

This week I’m sharing some waterfalls dressed in their autumn colors. One, Yellow Creek Falls, I took a year ago on our trip to Great Smokey Mountains National Park. The others were taken on our recent trip to Pennsylvania and Virginia.

Looking Glass Falls is at roadside but is difficult to photograph because it is tucked away in a little grotto and it’s difficult to find a position that provides a good angle. The other falls are tucked away on short trails that require minimal effort if you can navigate rocks and roots as well as some steep descents to the riverside. We had some nice autumn colors but mostly overcast skies.

Two weeks ago, we had the privilege of visiting Shenandoah National Park and some of the surrounding Virginia countryside. The autumn color was in the early stages of turning color. Though not at its peak, it was still wonderfully cloaked in its coat of many colors.

Fungi in the Backyard

Fungi on a Log – Image 01
Roswell, Georgia, USA; SEP 2023

A few weeks ago, a section of our backyard was set aglow in the early morning sun. We have a small wood pile I made hoping it might become a bee hotel. The bees ignored it. It’s now a larder for chipmunks, a hunting ground for wrens, a perch for squirrels to eat dinner and other things. It’s great fun to watch. On this day in August, the logs sprouted multicolored species of fungi and the sun poked its rays through breaks in the trees to set the fungi glowing.
