Rhododendron

We hiked up Mount Walker on Sunday and the wild rhododendrons float among the trees. Gorgeous.

Flower and fruit

Another photograph for the Weekly Photo Challenge: evanescent. What is more evanescent than the spring change of bud to flower to fruit to falling?

Love

This photograph is also from my hike two days ago. These are broadhead skinks, I am told. Skinks are lizards and their family has 1500+ species. This pair was right by the hiking trail. I tried not to spook them and succeeded. They were still curled there when we walked on.

morning rabbit

Rainshadow Chorale sang the premiere of Gil Seeley’s Morning Rabbit at our concert last Friday and Saturday. I took this photograph two years ago at WSU in Pullman.

Good morning, rabbit!
