February is National Bird Feeding Month if you are wondering what inspired the Sunday Stills challenge theme this week.

Sunday Stills: #Fog at My Feet, Head in the #Clouds
January has usually been a month where it feels like my head is either in a fog or UP in the clouds. So far this year, with so much going on with our move to Washington, I feel slightly unmotivated and a little out-of-sorts. I have a lot to look forward to and I am … Continue reading Sunday Stills: #Fog at My Feet, Head in the #Clouds
The Eagle Has Landed
Last weekend, I'd read in a local Spokane publication that bald eagles winter in Idaho's Lake Couer d'Alene in search of spawning Kokanee salmon. Sunday, we drove the short 30 minutes to the area and stopped at Higgins Point where the eagles are known to feed. Armed with my Lumix camera, our dogs, and wearing … Continue reading The Eagle Has Landed
