Whether we See it
Or not.

Living Life from One Extreme to Another Extreme
Living Life from One Extreme to Another ExtremeI took this photo of a male and female Pileated Woodpecker just the other day when the rivers were flooding and the rain was dumping. The woodpeckers are actually just hanging out keeping their heads and bodies temporarily out of the pouring water.

Belted Kingfisher Flying Forward
Pin It
Be Determined to move along forward
In the direction of your choosing.
The Belted Kingfisher is a Warrior
That Positions itself Knowingly.
I took this photo in December at Semiahmoo Spit near Blaine, Washington.

Dive into the Underworld,
Deep within your Psyche,
And retrieve those things about your Self
That you have lost
Or have carelessly thrown Away.
To see more from our World of Water,

Boulevard Park in Bellingham, WA
Pin It
This photo was taken at Boulevard Park in Bellingham, WA. There's a trail that follows the Bay between downtown Bellingham and Fairhaven where the Car Ferries from the Lower 48 depart for the Inside Passage to Alaska. Bellingham is a university town being host to Western Washington University, so there are always lots of Students roaming the Park at all times of the year, as well as joggers, bike riders, and dog walkers. A whole spectrum of people come together and utilize a very nice trail system. In the photo you can also see a coffee shop which they opened a couple of years ago. It's a huge success and gives an opportunity for people to get out of the rain on their daily walks in the winter months.

Golden Crowned Kinglet Communities
Pin It
Golden Crowned Kinglets in Western Washington State are often accompanied by Chestnut Backed Chickadees, Red Breasted Nuthatches and Brown Creepers. I hear people often say that they gather together to be more protected in larger numbers. To me this is a Darwinian projection based on human fears. If you ever sat down and listened and watched these birds you would feel their positive energy and the fun they are having by being in these groups. They often announce their wondrous finds to others and the general population will call back in appreciation. They move together in song and in peace and in direct harmony with their environment. They don't seem to think about danger until the danger arises, which is when the alarm call is signaled. So let us not think and believe that we are together because we are afraid of the next moment, but that we are together because we enjoy each others company. Which story would you rather live in and propagate within your very own communities?

This is Cat's Ear Mariposa Lily and it grows in the bitterbrush community in the drier climates of Washington State surrounding ponderosa pine and douglas fir forests.
