Anything. ... oh and John you could and probably should be the Seattle-area photographer for the NYT (or for anywhere at all as you document your area so beautifully.) I imagine it feels funny to be starting your walk in the dark again. Do you think it will actually happen that we change to DST all year-round? ...Thank you for the reminder of how beautiful Early spring is (must confess that your pictures made me a little homesick for our corner of the Pacific Northwest).

Your capture of the sky with beautiful cloud formations is so lovely, it is, an unusual sunset, and your delightful spring images of flowers and trees are a welcome sight. Beautiful shots of the Mallards, and Double-breasted Cormorants. As water birds sometimes stand on one leg I think the goose is doing just that.The ships with their lights glowing in the early morning darkness are wonderful captures, as is the photo of Mnt Rainier, ..what a glorious sky. I sometimes wonder how container ships can carry so much cargo, without sinking! Ha ha, that's probably a silly remark, as they are built to do just that, but I still think it's remarkable. The N Y T's photographer had been watching you, and knew just were to get the best shot.:=) I am now wondering what the article was about! My prayers are for peace in the world and for Our Lord to help the people of Ukraine.<br />Enjoy your day in Seattle John, and thanks for the pun about it on my blog.:)) <br />Breathtakinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03883608347810648676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6551752452162286188.post-81499598793431821892022-03-21T15:29:06.200-07:002022-03-21T15:29:06.200-07:00Hello John

For many years it was in the genus Phalacrocorax but was reassigned to Nannopterum. Perhaps Nannopterum auritus would have been unfamiliar to you, whereas Phalacrocorax auritus would have rung the proverbial bell!David M.

You do have some great sightings on your morning walks. I enjoy seeing the signs of Spring, a favorite time of the year. The budding trees are beautiful. Great captures of the ships and the lovely skies. I like the view from the bench. I pray for Ukraine and peace in the world. Wonderful photos. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment. eileeninmdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00070309645796725309noreply@blogger.com
