It’s a new year—which means a new year full of opportunities to learn and connect with our public lands and the natural world around us! Kick off this year of exploring nature with Night Photography at Lake Diablo this February! Join us and Andy porter — an award-winning photographer based in Skagit Valley whose photographs have been featured in the Smithsonian Museum — on this small-group evening expedition to capture images of the Milky Way on a moonless night in North Cascades National Park. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We’ll begin the adventure with a delicious, organic dinner and short evening workshop on the Art of Night Photography at the North Cascades Environmental Learning Center. Then we’ll head a short distance to Diablo Overlook where Andy will guide us in capturing our own images of the night sky. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Register at ncascades.org! https://ift.tt/2U7ZYd5

Resident G.B.H.

At Whitewater Draw, McNeal, Arizona. During crane season this bird gets easily lost in the crowd, but he’s always pretty much in the same spot. I also am a creature of steady habits, so I am always glad to find him at there.
