Oh, hello there! I’m just hanging quietly here waiting to meet you face to face. 🕸️ #Spiders #FacePlant #PNW #ItsNotOctober #WatchMeGrow

We had a visitor in the backyard before daybreak. Hard to distinguish, this was the best track from others in yard. Hind paw, claws towards the top of the imprint. 🐻 One of the reasons we pull all bird feeders in the evening! #PNW #Bears #BlackBears #Surprise

The texture and camouflage of our native Northern red-legged frog resting in a pot this afternoon. At first I thought this was a leaf until those sleeping yellow eyes slowly opened. 🐸 #PNW #Amphibians #Frogs

Fun times this breezy August afternoon on Puget Sound. West Seattle in the background. #Summer #PNW #WAWX #SailboatSaturday

Our 40 year old Red Sunset Maple Tree roots has Kretzschmaria deusta, also known as the burnt crust fungus or brittle cinder fungus. It will need to be removed within a couple years. 🍄☠️🥺 #FungiFriday #AlphabetChallange #WeekDforDark #PNW

The beautiful feather design and contrasting colors of the Hairy Woodpecker. They are year round visitors at our suet feeders. Feathers are from today. 🪶 #AlphabetChallange #WeekDforDark #PNW #WoodpeckerWednesday

YES, I’m cheating. A nine second video of our chimney silhouette with accompanying sound effects emanating from the dark tree seen at the right. From last February. 🦉 #AlphabetChallange #WeekDforDark #PNW

@mochy.bsky.social 🦝 @soletraveler.bsky.social 🦃 @suzette.bsky.social 🦃 Thank you for the reposts! My Costco lily wanted to say hello. 👋

Thanksgiving in the backyard this morning. Turkey Tail, Trametes versicolor, on a small maple stump. 🍄 #FungiFriday #PNW #AlwaysLookDown

Dad left his back door ajar last night to help cool his house down from the heat yesterday. He had a visitor. One shoe missing, candy bowls cleaned out. 🦝 #PNW #Bandit #TrashPandas #MorningSurprise #BainbridgeIsland

Good morning my Barred Owl buddy. Are you the reason I don’t have any birds in the yard? I think so! 🦉🪶 #Owls #PNW #Nature #DidYouLeaveMeAGift?

@suzette.bsky.social @carolannie.bsky.social Thank you for the reposts!

16” Common Garter Snake in a pot that it couldn’t escape out of this morning. It slithered away after I turned the pot on its side. 🐍 #AlphbetChallenge #WeekCforCurves #PNW #Reptiles

Glaucous-winged Gulls are a chatty bunch! Heading home yesterday on the Kingston ferry waiting for the car loading to complete. 🪶 #SeagullSunday #PNW #PugetSound #Birds #SeaSounds

As the sun was setting last night our backyard Barred Owl returned, practicing its exorcism posture. 🪶 I didn’t realize that I had accidentally stopped filming.🙄 #Owls #PNW #Backyard

This is ‘Gus’, the Great blue heron this morning on dad’s beach. Gus uses this rock and a couple others to patiently wait for a meal when the tide is coming or going out. Same behavior for many years! 🪶 #AlphabetChallenge #WeekBforBehind #PNW #PugetSound

@emhonu.bsky.social @wa-fire-watch.bsky.social @suzette.bsky.social Thank you for the reposts! Please enjoy the California poppies with bee butt and the sounds of gentle Puget Sound waves lapping in the background.

Seattle and Puget Sound looking spectacular this afternoon. The cruise ship moored at the waterfront is huge! #WAWX #PNW #Sunday #Seattle

A female Pileated Woodpecker feeding her female youngster some suet this quiet 4th July morning. Not the clearest video, trying not to disturb them with the window cracked open. 🪶 Have a safe and sane 4th everyone! #Woodpeckers #PNW

How many mealworms can a female American Robin hold in her beak? Mrs. Robinson has been partially feeding her clutches for 3 years with dried mealworms that I hydrate with water and place inside this crate. We get along fabulously and have multiple feeding routines. 🪶 #PNW #Nature #BirdsofBlueSky

@emhonu.bsky.social @oldredsubby.bsky.social Thank you for the reposts! Sun setting on tall cedar trees in our backyard this evening, hope yours is a pleasant one. ✨

@soletraveler.bsky.social @wa-fire-watch.bsky.social Thank you for the reposts. Have a good evening!

Looking at Seattle and the clouds this calm afternoon from my dad’s patio on Bainbridge Island. #WAWX #Summer #JuneGloom #Clouds #LooksLikeFall #SpaceNeedle #PNW

@danrange.bsky.social, juvenile female Anna’s hummingbird resting on Mr. Crab* and I thank you for the reposts. 📸 * From yesterday looking out the kitchen door window.

This afternoon a solitary Potter Wasp (Ancistrocerus - don’t know which one) was looking for a tube home to lay its single egg decided our door hinge might be the right place. 🐝 First time I’ve noticed this kind of bee in the yard. #PNW #Pollinators #NotaPest

A rushed video through our dining room window of a male Western Tanager feeding suet to a juvenile Tanager. No sign of mom, these two Tanagers appear multiple times a day for a quick suet snack. 🪶 #Birds #PNW #Backyard #FeedMe

Early morning weathervane. 😂 #SeagullSunday #PNW

Lunchtime for a family of Red-breasted Nuthatches. Mom and dad brought 4 young ones to the feeder. Unfortunately they are all flying around in the background. Listen closely to hear their nasally chatter! 🪶 #Birds #PNW #BackYard

Female Pileated Woodpecker having her morning breakfast today while a Red-breasted Nuthatch waits its turn. 🪶 #WoodpeckerWednesday #PNW #Birds
