A Steller’s jay stopped at the backyard birdbath for a drink.
And decided to strike a pose, complete with the perfect side-eye look.
Was he thirsty… or critiquing my shot? What’s your verdict? 😏

One thing about the Pacific Northwest mountains.
You can stand in the same place a hundred times.
And the mountain will never look the same twice.
Light and weather rewrite the scene every day.
While I was at Federation Forest State Park this week, this mossy stretch of forest caught my eye.
The moss-covered branches and deep green forest floor gave it a calm, almost storybook feel.
Mount Index at sunset.
What caught my eye was the sunlight hitting the snow on the upper ridge. On a clear evening, it makes the whole mountain really stand out. View full screen to see the texture and detail of the ridge.
While I was at Lake Wilderness this past week, this shoreline reflection caught my eye.
The evergreen trees along the shore looked almost doubled in the water. It had that quiet Pacific Northwest feel I always enjoy.
