Through the Trees

Black Bird

Critters

I’m guessing there are a few readers out there thinking “We like landscapes, lakes, mountains, and stuff – but give us a break!”  So here are some shots of the critters that I encountered on yesterday’s photo roadtrip through eastern Washington.

Run squirrel run!!!

This guy was not happy to see me – he made it clear that it was HIS park, and I was just visiting.

I did some rock climbing on this trip – more pictures from that coming soon.  This little guy was nice enough to pose for me as I took a break on the way up.

A woodchuck.   I waited for a while but no chucking of wood was seen.  Maybe he was on a break.

I’d like to thank this raven for not pooping on me when he flew over.

Raven in the Trees

Raven flying through the trees.  Shot near Diablo Lake in the Cascade Mountains.

Raven

I was up in the Cascades setting up a shot of snow blowing off a mountain peak.  I saw a bird flying into frame and thought “OMG!!!!! An eagle!!!!”.   I fired away and this was the result.  It wasn’t an eagle – I think it was a very big raven.  Almost trashed the shot because the focus and framing are a bit off but there is something about it that I like.   So here it is.
