Lower Hood Canal, Washington.
Located in western Washington, Hood Canal is not really a canal at all but rather a picturesque glacial fjord that sits in the shape of a backwards checkmark between Puget Sound and the Olympic Peninsula. Five major rivers with upper reaches protected inside Olympic National Park flow east into Hood Canal [along with] countless smaller streams and creeks that flow west from the Kitsap Peninsula.

Mandurah switches on with '350 Bulb Swap'
This picture was taken by the City of Mandurah in Western Australia as part of our '350 Bulb Swap' - where we will be swapping 350 incandescent bulbs for energy efficient CFL bulbs. The event will be held at the Sustainable Mandurah Home, a modern hands-on display home where, after they have swapped their bulbs, visitors can learn how to make their home more cost effective (through energy efficiency measures) and environmentally sensitive. For more information, head to www.sustainablemandurah.com.au.
The use of energy efficient lighting in your home is one of the simplest ways you can reduce you carbon footprint. Compact Florescent Globes use a quarter of the electricity required by the incandescent lamps to produce the same amount of light and have a considerably longer life span of up to 8,000 hours or more (source www.sedo.energy.wa.gov.au).
'350 Bulb Swap' is an initiative of the City of Mandurah to raise awareness on energy efficient lighting, encourage residents to reduce energy use at home and reduce the greenhouse gas emissions of Mandurah's community.

This was one of five bald eagles we saw on either side of the Columbia River....such a majestic bird!
wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bald_Eagle
".....From the Bonneville Dam to its mouth, the lower Columbia River supports over 70 nesting pairs of bald eagles and provides wintering habitat for more than 100 bald eagles during migration. Bald eagle numbers in this area, as well as throughout the United States, have rebounded since the 1970s. Pesticide contamination, illegal shooting of eagles, and habitat loss drastically reduced bald eagle numbers throughout the United States, and resulted in protection of the bird under the Bald Eagle Protection Act of 1940 and the Endangered Species Act of 1973. The banning of persistent pesticides such as DDT in the early 1970s has helped the bald eagle to recover in many parts of the United States, and the national symbol may be delisted from the Endangered Species List in 2000. ......"
