Spotted this morning driving around Edmonds. Our home town sending out love when the world needs it most 🫶🏻

Coincidentally, our small business is Edmonds.love so seeing this really struck me today. 😊

Today's #BirdoftheDay theme is #Iridescent. I suppose this green heron fits the bill. I made many images of this beauty one morning and have yet to have that opportunity again. I think they're beautiful. #photography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #EastCoastKin #birds #herons

Say hello to Brokey Ear. He stopped by yesterday to eat peanuts and kick some ass. 🐿️

Guess what? We're all out of peanuts 🚫🥜🫣

A brown and grey colored squirrel in grass looking directly into the camera. Its left ear is shredded almost in half so it looks like it has three ears. It's a tough little squirrel and is not afraid of anything or anybody. Brokey Ear succumbs to nobody.

Staring through the base of tall trees. Strong green and red colour in the foreground against the muted grey of fog blurring the background. Distinct branches visible above that quickly fade to grey (🎵) and brown and disappear, swallowed by the fog.

A round rock structure that covers a mineral spring with rock 'fences' bordering the water flow. The water and ground below it appear orange because of oxidized iron. This is in a forest, so trees are in the background, ferns are growing in between the rocks, and moss is visible.
