Trillium ~ Sunday Stills ~ Wildflowers

Posted on April 12, 2015 by Lindy Le Coq

Three weeks ago I posted photos of trillium I had taken on the first day of spring — Wake Robin — showing one trillium as it breaks the ground, and another already starting to bloom. These are native plants from bulbs that have lived under this canopy of fir and sky far longer than I have.

Ducklings ~ Weekly Photo Challenge ~ Afloat

Posted on April 11, 2015 by Lindy Le Coq

This mother Mallard with her brood are like feather bobbers, as they paddle through the marshes. What a joy it was to see them up close in nature.

P1030495She didn’t think much of me invading her territory, so she gathered her young ones close and paddled away from where I stood.

P1030497While keeping a sharp eye on me, she hustled her babes off to the other side of the marsh.

P1030499I count ten ducklings.  How many do you see?

Fogged In ~ Weekly Photo Challenge ~ Blur

Posted on April 3, 2015 by Lindy Le Coq

On Washington’s west coast, fog frequently creates a soft blur to the scene.  These photos have a quiet calmness to them that I love.

Sunlight in the Pines ~ Weekly Photo Challenge ~ Ephemeral

Posted on March 31, 2015 by Lindy Le Coq

I love looking at sunlight through the leaves of all kinds of trees. This one of the sun filtered through pine needles has reflections and refractions that I also enjoy.
