I took a couple of hikes to keep my blood circulating and to visit a couple of favorite local haunts. Saturday I zipped up to Pine and Cedar Lakes in the Chuckanuts and on Sunday I ambled along the Whatcom [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How can you lose a lake? In the Chuckanut Mountains south of Bellingham you just bury the thing in a deep valley beneath a high sandstone cliff and ring it with lush Douglas-fir, hemlock, and cedar forest with a dense groundcover layer of salal, sword ferns, and low Oregon-grape. Add a muddy trail and you&#8217;ve [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[January 1st, New Year&#8217;s Day, I donned shorts and boots and headed for Oyster Dome. That&#8217;s the prominent rock outcropping rising a couple thousand feet above Chuckanut Drive at the south end of the Chuckanuts or the north end of Blanchard Mountain. It&#8217;s a popular hike, despite being steep and muddy. I went for exercise [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Western Wahoo, otherwise known as Western Burning Bush or Euonymus occidentalis, is an uncommon shrub in the forests of southwest Washington. In fact, it&#8217;s considered a sensitive species and the online herbarium records withhold the exact locations of the specimens. In Oregon, Western Burning Bush is scattered in northwestern counties and occasional elsewhere west of [...]]]></description>

This afternoon, after wrapping up a three-day photography workshop for the Siskiyou Field Institute in Selma, Oregon, I headed south on US 199 toward Gasquet, California. It&#8217;s only [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You know that a wide-angle lens includes a lot more in the picture than a telephoto lens. You also know that the wide-angle expands the sense of space, making objects close to the camera much larger in relation to those farther away. Here&#8217;s a dramatic example of the difference. This photo, shot with a 16mm [...]]]></description>

At least that&#8217;s one way to look at this Common Filbert, Corylus avellana, blossom. All that feathery red stuff is part of the female flower. Dangling in the background are the long male catkins which soon [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Resist the temptation. Do not get in a hurry to cut down those spent flower stems when the blooms fade. Dry flower heads, seedpods really, can be almost as interesting as the flowers were. And many of them are attractive to small birds that come foraging for a mid-day snack. This container, sitting on a [...]]]></description>
