A very cool, "painterly"

Take a look at this... green tunnel. |

Sepia fun |

Killdeer faking injury |

Hiding in plane sight. Very dark Song Sparrows is my best guess. |

Art from a rainy day of two
people trying to paint under an umbrella in the rain. I took my artistic
license with it as well.

Very cool courting between these two Cedar Waxwings.
Sharing a Berry. |

They are sharing a berry. Not sure if it is the male bringing a
treat to the female to win her approval or the other way round. |

Imagine my surprise and delight as I
rounded a corner and found this fellow
by the side of the road quietly eating grass. |

Make no mistake that Bears are
omnivorous... eating vegetables (in this case
grass and Dandelion flowers) and or meat
(and or anything that is remotely edible,
according to reports ) |

This is the first wild Bear
I have seen in my life of
being out in the woods...
except in Yellowstone as
a kid. |

I had a bad case of
shaking hands as I tried to
switch lenses and camera
settings prior to his departure,
which I thought was imminent. |

This is the Cascades version
of a Black Bear
( His right ear had a yellow tag in it,
so he had some previous run in with
men) |

An older male I believe... because
some scares on his snout from
previous battles. |
