THINGS ARE STARTING TO MOVE

Mule D'ears

Mule D'ears, originally uploaded by Canis latrans.

this deer snuck up on us as we were napping in the dunes off the beach at Grayland Beach St. Park...Isabel was curled up next to us and slept through the whole thing, the deer was curious about isabel, not sure if they thought she was a doe or a coyote...

White-crowned Sparrow

something about this one makes it look like very controlled lighting, and perhaps a stuffed bird in a museum diorama...
really it was just morning sunlight and a cooperative bird

Rufous Hummingbird

There'Snow Stopping Spring, originally uploaded by canislatrans.

It had snowed a bit, but the sun came out, and the hummingbird was having the nectar of the red current bush on the rocks.

Flowering Cactus

Flowering Cactus II, originally uploaded by canislatrans.

This is a cactus in Judy's sunroom. I wonder if it blooms every year, or maybe its just blooming this once, because Judy is in Spain, and it is fitting that while away some miracle is happening at home.

Shell and Fossil

I like this one, shot on the desk with a standard desklamp

Small Pool on the Trail

Went walking back behind the old cabin today. rained off and on, I miss having all that right outside my door.

Trillium

Trillium, originally uploaded by canislatrans.

The trillium is the true harbinger of spring in the Northwest. Its bright triad of petals, lighting up the forest floor.
Come forward sun, beam your light through these transparent wings. In your honor we reflect back the light and warmth of your gift.
Damn near holy, these fucking trilliums, there everywhere right now.

this thing is tiny, less than an inch across.

New Growth

New Growth, originally uploaded by canislatrans.

Green as the month of March. I like the contrast of the new bud with the bare branch and thorn. I really punched up the green in the background, not sure if that's the accurate shade, but it looks striking.

Rosehips in the morning

I thought the colors on this one would look nice against the black background here.. Just another picture of the spring in waiting out there on these crisp end of winter days. Before you know it the full force of spring will be upon us rushing us headlong into the sun.

Family photos

some photos I recently copied into the digital realm. Most are of me as a kid, although a couple are of my nephews, Caleb and Duncan. That first one is my Dad with his camera, can't believe I am probably older than he was in that photo, that is me on his back.

Barnacle Village

Barnacle Village, originally uploaded by canislatrans.

A beautiful Beginning of March, a sunny day on the sound with Isabel. These rocks with clusters of barnacles looked like little dwellings carved into the cliffs.

Eclipse

Eclipse, originally uploaded by canislatrans.

The night of the eclipse was a special night, and Diego's last. It was fitting somehow. Crisp cold February night, clear skies, sunny days turning towards Spring and rebirth.

Diego's last sunbath

Diego's last sunbath, originally uploaded by canislatrans.

One of Diego's last days in the sun...what a beautiful guy he was...

A sure sign of Spring on its way, late February sun bringing out the alder buds. Happy sunshine to you all
