I had a chance to witness the Great Blue Herons elaborate courtship rituals at the Everett Marina in Washington state recently.
Although they don't mate for life, they form a close bond for a breeding season.
The male picks the nest site and attracts a female, e.g. with offering twigs, if she accepts them its a sure sign of success and they go on displaying other types of courtship rituals.
In this capture the male just returns to the chosen nest site and offers a twig, the partner will be arranging the nest after accepting it.
Fascinating to observe their coded behavior.

Rows of vibrant yellow daffodils stretch across a muddy field in Skagit Valley, Washington, reflecting beautifully in the pools of water between them. The scene captures the tranquility and natural beauty of a well-tended flower field after rain.

About a hundred y/o vintage building sitting empty since the Pandemic in Snoqualmie, not too far from the Falls.

A vibrant yellow house stands out with its wooden door and dark window, framed by the delicate pink blossoms of a tree in full bloom. The juxtaposition of the bright facade with the soft flowers creates a cheerful and inviting scene in Snoqualmie, Washington.

Visited the historic Northwest Railway Museum, built in 1890 and looked charming in Spring settings.

The charming Northwest Railway Museum (NRM) built in 1890 is nestled under the blooming branches of a cherry blossom tree, with soft pink flowers contrasting against the rustic, vintage architecture in Snoqualmie, Washington.
It is the oldest continuously operating train station in the state of Washington and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.
Today tourists can take the train from the Depot to the top of Snoqualmie Falls, then to North Bend and back. A new period-appropriate (and very ornate) cedar shingle roof was completed in 2024.

On this #FlashbackFriday look back at the historic solar storm of May 10th last year, a rare, magical alignment of Big Dipper with the dazzling Corona Borealis.

We were witnessing a historic, dazzling auroral display on May 10th, 2024 at Lake Sammamish in Redmond, Washington, where the Northern Lights captivated and mesmerized the onlookers with their vivid colors and fast moving formations.
The dancing ribbons of light surrounded, enveloped us with vibrant colors, sometimes radiating directly overhead where the Big Dipper’s seven bright stars aligned with the Coronae (Corona Borealis or crown), a rare event, indeed.
The Corona is the most impressive type of aurora, when rays or rayed bands pass overhead to converge to a point to form a crown or corona. So we looked overhead and the aurora rays appeared to originate from one single point and radiated outwards, in alignment with Big Dipper.
Words escape me to describe how mind-blowing was this otherworldly, once in a lifetime experience, to witness the vivid display of the aurora borealis as the lights filled the night sky with swirls of purple and blue hues.
The natural phenomenon created an ethereal atmosphere, conveying the beauty of Earth's geomagnetic interactions with solar particles.

Colourful deer portrait is an acrylic painting in portrait format painted by the artist Karen Kaspar.
It shows the head and upper part of the body of a majestic stag with imposing antlers on its head. The background is abstractly painted in colourful shades of orange, green and light blue. These colours are also repeated in the stag's fur and antlers. The animal has turned its head towards the viewer and is looking kindly and attentively in his direction.

I’ve been following up on a Barred Owl family with three chicks. Love this captured moment as sunlight filtered through the trees of a dense PNW forest.
