Thank you! If it helps that one was taken in a wetlands sanctuary.

The redwing blackbird kind of gave that away.

More of my favorites! The peacock was chosen to be part of an online tour guide to Seattle's Woodland Park Zoo.

I've only seen that side (the blast zone) of Mt. St. Helens once in my life. Got to witness every eruption from the other side, (from 60 miles away) though. Once again, great photos!

If you ever get a chance to get up on the pumice plain (on Mt. St. Hellens, you have to park and hike up to it) in spring, do it. There's little toads hopping around all over the place up there. It's pretty cool. That's the only place I've ever seen toads in western WA and they're cute as heck. Little bitty toadies. it's like the gravel comes to life.

You don't have to go there to see them. I have them at a trail i walk. There everyehere.
