The first dawn is in the San Juan Islands of western Washington. The tanbark ketch is a member of the Sea Witch class of sailboats. Some feel that this class of boat has never been equaled, much less surpassed, for romantic appearance and living space and comfort in a small cruising design.

Poor light but in thirty years the first Brambling to visit the garden. Maybe it'll revisit in better light before migrating back north.

Haven't done a cliche Saturday OR a nature shot in a long time.
Some of my favorite spring trees are starting to bloom and the first wave of bees is buzzing around.
Hope everyone is having a nice weekend so far!

this morning it snowed for the first time in this winter :)
the world turned monochromatic instantly.
The snow
began here
this morning and all day
continued, its white
rhetoric everywhere
calling us back to why, how,
whence such beauty and what
the meaning; such
an oracular fever!
flowing past windows, an energy it seemed
would never ebb, never settle
less than lovely! and only now,
deep into night,
it has finally ended.
The silence
is immense,
and the heavens still hold
a million candles, nowhere
the familiar things:
stars, the moon,
the darkness we expect
and nightly turn from. Trees
glitter like castles
of ribbons, the broad fields
smolder with light, a passing
creekbed lies
heaped with shining hills;
and though the questions
that have assailed us all day
remain - not a single
answer has been found -
walking out now
into the silence and the light
under the trees,
and through the fields,
feels like one.

Don't you love that feeling you get, when you see the first snow hitting the distant mountains?! This was taken in September. My photo travel buddy chris.ph and I were giddy with excitement, imagining the scenes to come.

This is the first time I was able to capture one of these. One of the things I learned from watching them is that the beak is shaped that way to help them drink. It is sort of a reverse laddel thing.
Murano
is a series of islands linked by bridges in the Venetian Lagoon, northern Italy.
Murano’s reputation as a center for glassmaking was born when the Venetian Republic, fearing fire and the destruction of the city’s mostly wooden buildings, ordered glassmakers to move their foundries to Murano in 1291.
Murano glass is still associated with Venetian glass

My first ever lightning shot, from a relatively weak storm here in Berlin last night.
Thanks to those following me so far, means a lot and thanks for all the comments :)
Hope you all are having a great weekend!

I was so lucky to see the last two baby birds leaving the nesting box. The rest had already gone.
It happened very fast and it wasn't easy to capture this!
