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.
Sunrise Hike
Just a few of the things we saw as we walked up to the Huckleberry Trail on the Sunrise side of Mt. Rainier. The moss just hung like long strands of hair. The deer just walked out of the brush and onto the trail, coming within 15 feet of me. 
Crossing the Interurban
This little guy was crossing the trail amidst the bicycle traffic, etc. We decided to stand guard until he was safe on the other side of the trail. One bicyclist actually did stop and help us redirect traffic while the salamander made his journey across the trail.
Flood Abatement-End of the Green River Trail
Black wall of sandbags marks the end of the Green River Trial, for now.
Another Wild Bunny Sighting
Along the Green River Trail a wild rabbit forages for a meal.
The Interurban
A section of the Interurban Trail, not as scenic as the Green River Trail, that is straight and flat. A large portion of the Green River Trail is closed due to flood abatement efforts. The trail has turned into a six foot wall of sandbags covered in black plastic.
Wild Bunny
Have spotted quite a few wild rabbits along both the Green River and Interurban Trails.
Green River Whirlpool
At a bend in the Green River these little whirlpools would form and dissipate within seconds.
Green River Trail
Image of a small section of the Green River as well as that of a weeping willow tree on its bank.
Out of a Bale of Hay
Spotted this interesting plant or fungi growing out of a bale of hay. A type of mushroom?
Forest Getaway
Partial photo of a cabin my grandfather built in 1964, without the aid of power tools. The property is now owned by my brother. The Duckabush River is just down the hill, behind the cabin, about 200 yards.
Brick and Fennel
Tall fennel along the path near the 14th St. Bridge. Distinctive red brick of original road in South Park.
Lichen
Lichen spotted at 7,000 feet on Mt. Rainier.
