Photo of The Day - April 2023

For the last 3 years, a pair of robins have taken to nesting on top of my downspout for their hatchlings. Mom is on the nest, and dad hangs out in a tree nearby keeping watch and bringing her treats. I gotta say, if I was a robin, it's a good spot. Sturdy, out of the wind and rain, seconds from fine dining. Location, location, location.

Such a beautiful area @TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️ with Mt Wilson and the Spring Range. You are lucky to have such cool scenery and geology in your backyard as I mentioned the other day. Wow

Window display, maybe a tad early for Fathers Day?

My cousin in Portland was born the day before it erupted!

I was solo climbing the North Ridge of Mt. Baker when it went off on my descent. It was a directional blast and I could hear it at that distance - I thought someone had lit off dynamite in the area. I was training for a big climb in Alaska and had almost gone to St. Helens that day instead - I had done it a number of times and knew a back way into the exclusion zone and nobody was expecting a massive blow. Thankfully, I didn't want to do the long drive from Seattle and went to Baker instead. Driving home southbound on I-5, the plume was amazing to see.

Your pets? I had a 3-foot green iguana when I was younger. He became a zoo donation when he got larger.

Curious, is this some filter on your lens or is it software?

neither. it’s just moving the camera with a slow shutter speed. it's called ICM/intentional camera movement.

Gophersnake. And as you might or might not know, all snakes can swim

Today I’ve learned something new🙂
Didn’t know this technique at all, so thanks!

I took this one in Japan, not this week..
Too bad because it would have been perfect for the Texture week 🙂
How do the monks rake the sand without making any faux step!?

Yeah, but every time I see a swimming snake, I think water moccasin, no matter the different look. I lived in SW Louisiana bayou country ...
