En route by train from Bellingham, WA to Olympia not long ago, I spent the entire four hour trip in the window seat looking out the window and taking photos of the scenery and clouds and bridges along Puget Sound as we headed south. 

At first I was dismayed by the window--scratched or abraded so badly that all my photos looked fuzzy.. But after looking at the results, I loved the strange opaque quality of the photographs. They look more like old-fashioned silver prints or Daguerrotypes. And the clouds look like something out of dream.

The photo for my blog captures the spirit of the accidental naturalist (my husband, actually). The body of water featured here, Willapa Bay, completely drained out at low tide during our camping trip at the Willapa National Wildlife Refuge, leaving us a pleasant several hours of experiencing the life of the turning tide.
