Been there. This was western Washington state in the middle of the daytime while BC, Canada and eastern Washington wildfires were raging. AQI at the time was hovering around 180.

A cherry pink sun hovers in the upper right of the photo. Forested hillsides are barely visible through thick wildfire smoke settling in the lower Cascade Mountains.

I love all the birds. I enjoy seeing your bird photos. I came upon hundreds of Trumpeter Swans in Skagit Valley in early spring and felt like I’d won a prize!

8 trumpeter swans, 5 mature white swans and 3 gray youths crossing a grassy planter’s field to forage bugs on a partly sunny, early spring day in northwestern Washington state. In the background are rolling fields and farms surrounded by tall evergreen trees.

You mean like this?

“Gen. Mark A. Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has apologized for his participation in President Trump’s June 1 walk across Lafayette Park in Washington, D.C.”

“The walk followed security personnel forcibly removing peaceful demonstrators from the square, and led to the president’s photo op in front of the historic St. John’s Episcopal Church.”

Liberty Bay, Poulsbo, WA I was in a kayak.

My Himalayan poppies finally bloomed! It took 2 years to get the conditions perfect enough for them to feel like it. 😊

Blue petaled poppy flowers with yellow stamen and green pistils in the center of the flower, where the petals glow neon pink, stand on fuzzy green stalks amongst fuzzy green leaves. Behind them are fence railing wires and the dark leaves of a rhododendron.

Given we’re about to host #FIFA soccer, the #Seattle waterfront was surprisingly quiet on a weekend. Pike Place Market was uncrowded too. #PNW #photography

The Seattle waterfront pier on a slightly overcast day. Blue skies poke out through thin cloud cover. There’s a ferry sailing through Elliott Bay in the distance.

Every damned day. 😩

A page from the children’s book Goodnight Moon with the bunny all tucked into bed and a fire burning in the fireplace. Text overlayed on the image reads, “Goodnight moon. Goodnight Zoom. Goodnight sense of impending doom.”

Last of my rhodies to bloom each spring are my favorites. 💜 #flowers #BloomScrolling #nature #PNW #Washington #photography

Pale purple rhododendrons with dark purple centers are in blooming large among their deep, smooth green leaves. Behind are evergreen trees rising into a blue sky with waves of high, thin clouds.

Crystal clear sea water. Port Townsend, #Washington #PNW #photography #nature #design #texture #art

Overhead photo of a saltwater shoreline where larger, jagged rocks appear left in the frame, and give way to soft green, gray and white hued stones lay beneath the surface, creating the shallow sea bed near the shoreline. The sea water is so clear you might not notice it.

wine o’clock 🥂🍷 #photography #iphonephoto #design #wine #Seattle

Picture of a dusting nightmare: 7 rows of clear wine glasses, in numerous shapes and sizes, rest on hooks attached to a dark, copper wall.

The first rhododendron blooms of the season, adorned with raindrops after a storm, are especially pretty! #BloomScrolling #photography #flowers #nature #gardening #PNW #Washington

Pale pink Rhododendron blossom clusters dappled with raindrops stand out against their long, dark green leaves.

It’s been a tough time for a lot of people. Here is some of nature’s exquisite beauty for you. The lake really is that color. No filter. No editing. Diablo Lake, North Cascades, #Washington state #PNW #photography #landscapephotography #nature #mountains #beauty

A deep aqua blue lake fills the valley between evergreen trees blanketing granite mountains in northern Washington state. The sky is blue with sparse, thin white clouds. There are three small rock islands, two covered with trees, emerging from the lake.

Boiling temp. #macrophotography #photography #cooking #graphics #art #science

A multitude of bubbles fill a pot of near boiling water, creating an interesting mosaic.

Stone shaped and worn down by the tides of the Pacific Ocean and warmed by the sun. La Jolla #California #photography #geology #texture #nature #beach #art

Gray stone illuminated by the sun, existing at the edge of the Pacific Ocean in Southern California is worn into miniature mountains and valleys, creating tiny rivers and lakes of saltwater where the sea was captured as the waves withdrew.

This is a frequent mode of transportation in western #Washington for people who live on one of our many islands, the Olympic Peninsula, and along populated shorelines. I forget how special ferry rides are, until visiting friends get excited to experience it themselves. #PNW #photography #boating

A white, 4-level ferry boat loaded with vehicles on the bottom deck and 2 passenger seating area decks above sails through a saltwater passage on its way to San Juan Island. The water is calm and blue, as is the sky. Ahead of the ferry is an evergreen tree covered island.

Home on the harbor. Autumn 2025. Port Ludlow, #Washington #landscape #photography #garden #clouds #PNW #flowers #BloomScrolling #WestCoastKin

White painted columns and worn gray floor boards make up a front porch facing a bay and marina, both unseen except in slivers of water and the masts of sailboats rising over a verdant, floral garden filling the narrow patch between the porch and a low, decorative fence. The sky is partly cloudy with a bright blue sky peeking out. The sun has lit up the garden from above.

Slicing leeks and was suddenly mesmerized by how beautiful they are. Mother Nature is the original artist. #photography #cooking #art #nature #pattern #design

Close up photo of sliced leek rings on a pale brown and marked up bamboo cutting board glow in shades of light and dark green to white as they radiate out like tree rings.

Okanogan Range, #Washington #PNW #photography #nature #landscapephotography #mountains

Photo taken from a granite overlook of a mountain valley and the rising peaks of the Okanogan mountain range in Washington state. An expanse of smooth granite rock is under foot. To the left is a twisted, gray tree trunk lying across the stone slab. In the foreground are 5 evergreen trees at the edge of the rock ledge, one is bare and dead.The granite mountains in the distance are covered in patches of evergreen trees. The sky is a brilliant blue peeking from behind fluffy white clouds on a partly sunny day.

Beachy evening at #sunset. Coronado Beach, San Diego, #California #photography #beach #nature

Six people stand in silhouette on a beach at sunset. One person appears to be taking a photo while others are looking out to sea as the sun sets behind distant hills. A person is seated on the steps of a lifeguard tower while another leans against the platform. The sky is a deep orange with a few thin clouds.

Caught in a sudden rainstorm. Port Gamble, #Washington #photography #PNW #rain #LandscapePhotography #TribalLand #rain #nature

Raindrops fall against an evening sun break after a storm. The gray skies begin to part, letting the sun break through and cast bright sunlight on a bay surrounded by forested hills. You are standing on a wet gravel path flanked on both sides by tall grasses. On the left, standing in silhouette, is a tall, wooden totem pole.

#Nature always finds a way. #photography #mushrooms #forest #plantlife #autumn #PNW #Washington

A cluster of small, pale brown mushrooms emerges through spilts in a weathered, damp railroad tie that’s dotted with moss and lichen.

Coronado Beach at The Del. Hanging out with a friend at dusk. The cool sand felt so nice to walk barefoot through. #photography #California #beach #WestCoast #SanDiego
