I managed to capture the silhouette of the Golden Gate Bridge with the sun bursting through one of its pillars. ☺️

A small windowless building made out of rocks with a white sign that says 'THIS IS SCORPION GULCH' in black letters. The edges of a palo verde tree are visible on the left hand side, a small bit of a mountain is also visible, and a bright blue sky with white clouds is above. In front of the building, in the foreground, the desert ground is visible with dirt and rocks.

It really is. This is at a nearby park, and whenever I walk there, I feel like I've slipped into another world. It's a great escape 😊

Oh I can't do it! People swim in Puget Sound here in Edmonds, and I cringe every time I see it! Cold water and I do not jive well together 🀭

A tree with thick moss growing all over its trunk that has clusters of mushrooms and ferns growing out of it. There are additional tree limbs and plants visible in the background.

A close-up of a clematis flower with a yellow center, and lavender petals that have dark pink veins running through them and dark pink edges. The center of a second flower is in the upper left hand corner and dark green leaves are visible in the background.

In anticipation of spring blooms, here is a clematis from our garden last year to brighten up your Tuesday

A view of the Pacific Ocean from Monterey Bay with reddish colored ice plants in the foreground, large rocks with turquoise water turning darker as the sea deepens, and a cloudy blue sky above.

A black and blue colored Steller's jay sitting on a weathered wooden trellis, back to the camera, facing to the right. Behind it, growing on the trellis, is a clematis vine with bright pink colored flowers. The background is a dark green bokeh.

An American crow standing on a dark colored chain-link fence, holding a piece of wood with its feet and bending its head over, chewing on said piece of wood. Puget Sound and Kingston, in the distance, are blurred in the background.
