Needs Repair

I was wandering on the grounds of a conference center here on Whidbey Island and found this building.

Magnolia Blossom

Sea Snails and Eggs

We were near the Mukilteo ferry landing during a recent low tide and saw these sea snails and their eggs. Fortunately, we had a zoologist in our group as I had no idea what they were. I'm a Whidbey Island native and have spent hours on the beach but I do think these were the first sea snail eggs I'd ever seen.

Dandelion Seeds

Birds of Spring

Some of the birds we are seeing now.



California Poppy

Bee

I was experimenting with an add-on lens and caught this bee, the first I've seen this season. This was a hand held shot as no tripod could be used - that bee was just too quick!
