South Fork Skagit River Estuary, taken yesterday. For over twenty years now, efforts have been underway to restore portions of this estuary so that juvenile salmon have better rearing grounds before venturing out into the ocean. These efforts benefit many species (e.g., orcas, eagles, etc.).

For those people that have never seen or noticed anticrepuscular rays, they are often subtle. Look slightly off to the side of the antisolar point, and give your eyes time to see them. Sometimes they are less subtle. I suspect that being almost 9,500 feet high may have helped with this image.

Stunning and beautiful image!

Sunset from the east rim overlook on Steens Mountain, Oregon. Images taken on 7/8/2013. First image looks west at the sunset, while second image looks east over the Alvord Desert. That second image shows anticrepuscular rays (converging on the antisolar point) and the earth's shadow.

Canadian Goose at low tide, Skagit Bay, Washington.

Flagstaff Point, Kukutali Preserve State Park Heritage Site, Washington, in false color infrared. Taken on 6/2/2017, with a Nikon D800 camera that was infrared converted to 590nm. I remember this day vividly, due to the amazing cloud formations. Sometimes you just luck out.

Some more autumnal colors. This time from near Maple Pass in the North Cascades, Washington. Images taken 9/23/2021

Autumnal colors from near Slate Peak, Washington. The rough road into Harts Pass and Slate Peak is the highest road in Washington State. This area is remote, rugged, and very beautiful. Image taken on 10/1/2006

Thanks for sharing this!

I saw the season's first snow geese about five days ago. Hope to see more throughout fall and winter. This image was taken locally (Fir Island, Washington) back on 3/19/2018.

Fall weather is upon us! This is a view of the North Cascade foothills, as seen from about a mile out into Skagit Bay. This digital artwork is based on an image that I took in 9/12/2019.

Ring-Billed Gull, Hayton Preserve, Fir Island, Washington. Images taken yesterday afternoon. Gulls are frequently not given much attention, but I find them interesting and elegant.

Sharp-shinned Hawk would be my guess. Great photo!
