No Hurry...

No hurry at all

The End Of The Day

Distant showers, the last glow of the sun, and the

feeling that we really are pretty tiny...

Another Swimmer In The Twilight

 When beavers are annoyed or wish to scare off something,

they slap their large flat tails against the water.  

It works.  This one slapped and dove under.

Swimming In The Twilight

A beaver passes by, swimming in the sunset colors.

Huge Shower Clouds On Fire

Sunset yesterday evening, 

over the wetlands

Sunshine And Wildflowers...

What's Not to Like?

A few peanuts would be nice, though.

Watching For Dinner

Lighting Up The Shadows

A tiny Trillium lights up the path.

Soon there will be more of them.

Looking For The Gingerbread House

New Spring greenery and the afternoon sun 

light up the path.

The Green Explosion!

We took our first real walk of the Spring 

at Seaquest State Park yesterday, 

and it was incredible!

The Walk To The Falls

Competition

Spring is in the air, and these guys are competing for female attention.

Ah, Sunshine!

Feeling A Bit Sad Today?

Perhaps a helping hand....

Beautiful Columbia River Day

What a moment!  The barge, Mt. St. Helens in the background,

 and an occupied eagles nest.  If you click on the picture you'll be able to make out the two Bald Eagles in the nest.  I didn't see the eagles until I was posting this.

Finding The Sun

Old Man Heron finds the sun out in the wetlands

Flaps Down...

Gear Down...

Clear The Runway!

Wouldn't It Be Nice...

Lean On Me

Spring Greenery and old wood

Spread It Around...

What? Where?

A batch of buffleheads--always looking around.

Old, But Still Standing 

One of the few buildings still standing in the 

Shaker Indian fishing village near The Dalles Dam.

Late Afternoon At The Dalles Dam

I am always amazed by the beauty of this spot.

In the late afternoon sun, both the Shaker Indian

fishing village and the dam that took away the Celilo Falls 

fishing sites seem to go together very well.  The glowing hills

on the Washington side are a perfect complement for the sky.

Magic Light

Down To The Sea...

The First Little Bits Of Spring

High On A Hill...

A shaft of light on a sleeping tree.
