  • The bumblebee had already collected a bunch of pollen on its hind legs as it approached the flower.  I was trying to capture it just before it landed on the flower.  You can see how fast its wings are flapping.  A remarkable sigght for sure.

  • I found these eleven ochre sea stars clumped together in a tight line.  I wondered what had brought them together in such a tight group.  The tide had just pulled beyond them so they still had a wet glow to their surface..

  • The Evening Grosbeaks flew up into the mountain hemlock.  They had been feeding on something on the ground.  I stood still and they went back to feeding.  Different individuals would fly up for a few seconds look around and then go back to feeding.

  • The tide was going out and I found this ochre sea star on the side of a rock with various algae.  The sea star didn't move in the 20 minutes I stood nearby watching.  I was intrigued by the design formed by the sea star and the brown algae.

  • The subalpine forest extended down through the wilderness valley for as far as the eye could see.  I found the wildness breath taking.  This looks across the Wenaha-Tucannon Wilderness into Oregon.  We had been having rain miixed with snow during tbe last two days so it was really relaxing to finally have the rain stop.

  • The columbine was just starting to open.  One flower was full and the buds were in various stages of development.  I absolutely adore columbines, they are so delicate and showy.  I was so excited to find this one along the trail.  It reminded me of many beautiful springs in the east.

  • A snow bank extended down and across one side of Frozen Lake.  The edge of the bank was scalloped and reflected brilliantly in the blue water.  Riples across the snow added a nice contrast.

  • Indian Creek drains the eastern side of glacier peak wilderness.  A large foot log forms a bridge across the creek.  I sat to watch to water flow unde the log.  A dipper flew by several times, complaining loudly that I was on the bridge and disturbing its creek domain.  The tumbling of water across the rocks created a wonderful mesmerizing sound.  After a while, I figured I should let the Dipper have its creek back so I moved along.

  • Fire had moved through this forest in the Pasayten Wilderness in 2003.  Most of the dead pines had fallen and young lodgepole pines were more than 10 feet tall.  Evidence that bark beetles invaded the fire killed trees is abundant.  I found this intricate design formed by beetle larva in one of the down snags.
