It’s getting dark pretty early these days, and these crows were hunkering down for the night against a cloudy sky with rain on the way. You’d think this was old black-and-white film!
At the Grant County Fair in central Washington we saw this damsel fly perched on a vendor booth. It was about 2 inches or 5cm across. I don’t usually like photos of insects but I’ll make an exception for this one.

This duck was swimming right for the visitors with food in their hands, in the Japanese Garden at Seattle’s Arboretum. I like the V-shaped wake it left behind.

The magnolias are gorgeous this year. This tree in our backyard is one of the many dotting the neighborhood right now. And the horses in the pasture adjoining our property just love the fallen petals. They even eat the blooms that they can reach off the tree! No harm seems to be done.

Looking thru the archives for something with water, I found this image I took in Las Vegas a couple of years ago. I believe it was at the Flamingo Hotel. And you just can’t go wrong with water AND sunset light.
It’s been quite cold and foggy in the mornings. Today it was very white and peaceful out there. The horse in the pasture next door added a nice, scenic element. Thanks, horsie!
On my visit to Port Orchard, Washington last week, of course I had to look at the boats and reflections at the water there. A gull was so helpful in flying by right as I was taking a photo. Thanks, little gull!
