Seaside

Seagulls Like Fruit

At the beach yesterday, I couldn't interest the seagulls in the cherry pits, but this one really went for a whole cherry. She even seemed to have a little smile afterwards.

Baby Robins

My cousin Tracy is an excellent photographer and she lives next to a wooded area. A great combination that resulted in some special photos. The robins' carefully crafted nest looks woven.

Spring Is Coming

A couple of weeks ago, a friend and I drove up the Columbia Gorge to look at icy waterfalls. Each time I left the comfort of the truck to take photos, the freezing air bit my bare head but it was worth it to feel the last winter scenes of ice and water on river rocks.
Snow had fallen for a few days in town where we'd come from, but this was serious mountain ice and snow. Many falls had frozen water hanging everywhere instead of a continuous water rush.
It has all thawed now and you can smell everything growing. Soon the warm smells of spring will be everywhere.
