A sea otter playing with her pup on Vancouver Island. We rarely see them out of the water. Photo taken during a private photo tour in May.

A sea otter playing with her pup on an islet covered with yellow kelp. She is on her back and her pup faces her. They look at each other.

        The odd one out.

        I love this photo. While the fediverse already feels like a lot at times, in the grand scheme of things, it's probably still the weird purple loner, and I like it like that.

This is one of the falls in the Glen Ellis Falls, White Mountains, NH. It is upstream of the larger falls. I took this photo last week during my trip to the White Mountains.

                        Good day!

                        It’s currently 42F (5.5C). I have warm loungewear on, my windows open, yet it’s comfortable inside. The expected high is 68F (20C).

                        Those open windows allow me to hear the AC go on and off in the living room of the apartment upstairs. Interesting.

                            Not all trails are made just of dirt and rock. Some also involve crossing streams. This is one of our stream crossings from the trip earlier this week. Relatively easy, just took a little thought before taking the stretched-out step over the water between the two boulders-- main concern was that the launch/land points on the two boulders were wet slippery moss on sloping rock surfaces.

The hiker's right foot is in mid-flight, stretching out over the flowing water toward a boulder several feet in front of her.  Water is flowing between the boulder her left foot is planted on and the boulder she is stepping toward.

The colors that day were just magical and created an unforgettable mood, maybe also because it was one of the last long hikes we did with our darling dog...)

The leaves and grasses in their beautifuk autumn colors of yellows, oranges, reds and browns. The blades of rushes turning red and glistening in the bright sun. The hazy sky emphasizes the layers of mountains into the distance.

Two of the flowers are in quite sharp focus and there are raindrops in a few of the petals. 

At the base of each flower is a star shaped assembly of green cover leaves.

Under the flowers are a couple of yet unopened buds of the same plant. and the slender, hairy, green stalks fade away from focus towards the bottom of the frame.

The background is a pleasing, blurry cool green from the surrounding greenery.

                                                    Had a great day hiking to waterfalls yesterday in the White Mountains, NH. Six beautiful waterfalls involving three trailheads and four trails. More pics (and a video) to come, but will be hitting the trails again shortly.

                                                      Good day!

                                                      Yesterday at the underpass, I turned to take a picture that ultimately didn’t happen. When I turned back around, this was the scene.

                                                      If I hadn’t paused, we’d have encountered each other at the other end. The pause also placed the camera in my hand.

                                                      Be everwell.

                                                      The scene looks through a highway underpass where a young male deer is walking past where there’s a pathway intersection, trees and fences visible.

                                                        After the most mild and dry winter I can remember here, we’re about to close the coldest, wettest spring I can remember.

                                                        It’s 38F (3.3C) this morning.

                                                        This is making me a little nervous about our upcoming summer. Hot? Cold? Smoky?

Feathered in a mix of downy fledgling and juvenile plumage, they were perched together in a shrub at the edge of the loop road. @CTGT got a couple great shots of several of them together that I’m sure he will post soon.

It is a small heron still partially covered in pale down with rusty plumage showing through on its head and neck, a hint of dark cap and back peeking through. It has a greenish-yellow eye and a long, sharp bill that is orange with a dark tip.

                                                              I took some young family members for their first river hike today. Along the way, we spotted this massive snapping turtle sunning itself on a log. We all stopped and stood in awe of its size. The entire hike was a lot of fun, filled with discovery, but I’m afraid that this hike set the “bar” quite high— the children might expect to see this turtle every time now! 😀🐢
