Forces of nature. Recent flooding on a nearby river showed its power. Scouring live trees so much they looked like bones or carcasses. Crazy looking. #nature #rivers #forcesofnature #naturephotography #WestCoastKin #PNW #trees

Been so much rain and cloudy days recently but Saturday was a beautiful afternoon with deep blue skies and the mountain was out in all her glory. Here she's peaking above the forests. #mountains #mountainphotos #MtHood #naturephotography #landscapephotography #WestCoastKin #PNWphotography

Not quite a mushroom for Monday but a pretty shelf fungi (conk?). I'm not great with fungi ID but like taking pics of them & learning. #fungifriends #mushroomMonday #forestphotography #naturephotography #EastCoastKin #WestCoastKin #PNWphotography

A Red-headed Woodpecker perches on a snowy branch against a gray sky. These woodpeckers are one of four North American Woodpeckers that store food (the others are: Acorn Woodpecker, Red-bellied Woodpecker, and Lewis's Woodpecker), and are the only ones that will cover it up

Saw this little one out and about on a cool sunny December day. Seemed to be in a hurry heading someplace; hopefully warm?

Sam Bates, known as SMUG, Australian-born, realistic street #artist. This one is in Glasgow. In the comments, I've included different views of this piece, as well as some other pieces of this hyper-realistic street artist. #StreetArt #WallMural #murals #UrbanArt #art

A Northern Cardinal kicks up snow as he hops along the boardwalk railing. From this angle he looks like he has tiny little wings for a Cardinal.

Fading kiss, adorned by a leaf and a crown of droplets. #FungiFriday #fungifriends #Mushroom #WestCoastKin #EastCoastKin #PNWphotography #photographersofBlueSky

Redpoll! One of the older gentlemen I see a lot while birding told me that it's been four years since we've had them in Chicago. I saw one a week ago, but couldn't get a pic. NOW I'm happy. 😂 #birds
