Fish and Fowl
A look at a small creek in Renton, WA. shared by spawning salmon and ducks. This urban creek looks very polluted with oil runoff from nearby streets and parking lots. I don’t think the salmon made it much further. When the salmon change color it means they are in rapid decline and better find a place to spawn soon.

Old Pilings
Old pilings in Red Hook serve a secondary purpose after being abandoned by people.
Watching Each Other
A few weeks ago I had this encounter with a heron on the Duwamish River. They seem to be very wary of people so I was hiding behind some tall grasses up from the river bank.
A Raspberry in my Future
Pigeon behind the PP Market honing in on a raspberry.
Wingspan
The wingspan of a heron, to me, seems really large. In relation to its body it is very long, large– whatever adjective fits. I have some more images of this same heron taken moments before lift off. I was stalking this heron, as they are very shy, along a spot on the Duwamish River a few days ago. Finally, I guess he/she thought I was being a nuisance hiding behind tall grass making a clicking noise ( camera ). I will post some those images in the coming days.
Note: I pressed the limits of my 70-200mm lens on these images so some of the detail is less than stellar.
