I came across a 1955 Kenworth Pacific School Bus beneath a wide, star-filled sky in Eastern Washington. Layers of graffiti and worn metal read like a map of visitors’ marks, and dim light leaking from the doorway casts soft color onto the scene. The stars above give the whole image a quiet sense of scale, turning a roadside relic into something both familiar and a little mysterious.

At Seabeck during the annual midshipman spawning an eagle made a precise touch and go, scooping a fish and lifting back into the sky. I like the curve as it rises from the water and how that motion stands out against the calm tones. It feels like a brief, efficient burst of movement with a quiet kind of presence.

Late spring in Yellowstone feels fresh after the melt, and the wildlife settles into a slow, easy rhythm. I arrived at my favorite viewing spot before dawn and waited to see who would show up. That morning a grizzly came through with its meal, and I spent hours watching it eat, nap, and spar with the ravens. The moment that made me laugh the most stayed with me—so relaxed and content I kept thinking of Winnie the Pooh saying I’m so rumbly in my tumbly.

One clear night at Mt. Rainier National Park I set out to record star trails. The arcs trace the Earth's movement while the north star stays a steady pinprick at the center. A soft pink glow low on the horizon is from distant light pollution, and a single streak cuts through the rings like a passing satellite or meteor. Mt. Rainier anchors the scene in silhouette, a steady presence against the sky’s motion.

My friend Terri Hoselton taught me to look at the railings for new worlds to photography. This article reminds me of her lessons.

I came across an immature Black-throated Green Warbler during fall migration in State Game Lands 205. It perched at eye level on a dark branch, a bright yellow chest set against soft gray feathers, and the cloudy dawn light gave the scene a calm, clear feel. Finding it that low let me show the bird’s alert gaze and the subtle lemon, olive, and dove-gray palette that caught my eye.

When I go out to take bird photos, I always have my 200-600 mm lens on. It is almost always zoomed out to 600 mm; once in a while I may back off to 500 mm so that I have room level and crop my image. I am so wrapped up in getting a portrait type shot of my subject doing something that I forget about the story that the environment tells about my subject. That is what this article is about. It is a reminder about why the environment is just as important as the subject.

The next time you are out with your camera, remember the environment. I know I will.

During fall migration at Hawk Mountain I encountered this elusive Canada warbler. I had the rare chance to study it at eye level, its bright eye and golden belly framed by soft, sunlit foliage.

I was at Rialto Beach when fog hugged the shoreline and the surf moved in steady, layered bands. Those rolling waves feel to me like a mix of celebration and endurance, the joys and the trials Juneteenth asks us to remember. The title nods to the line in Lift Every Voice and Sing about the rolling sea.
