  1. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🐆🚗 On #Washington’s #OlympicPeninsula, camera traps and tracking collars show #deer shift their space and time use wherever #pumas roam, avoiding #roads and sleeping through the night hours when collisions are worst.

    The result is a drop of up to 76% in deer-vehicle crashes where the #predators are most active. Notably, pumas deliver this benefit mostly by scaring deer, not killing them, essentially serving as free wildlife bridges.

  3. Like those evocative Japanese paintings of yore, so far across the Pacific...if only they could have visited it as it was then, and returned to tell the tale.

    Captured by me in the Olympic Peninsula: "Aerial Perspective".

  5. Somehow this is one of my favorite shots I've ever captured...maybe because it reminds me of what I dreamed life in The North was like when I was a child...or maybe because the Olympic Peninsula is just that beautiful when the air is clear and the days are long...

    Taken by me one July in Cascadia: "New Terrain".
