“Human nature is like water. It takes the shape of its container.” Wallace Stevens // #northwestnature 📸 by @caryncanfly
Snow geese are harbingers of the changing seasons. They fly south for the winter in huge, honking flocks that may appear as a "V" formation or simply as a large "snowstorm" of white birds. They spend the colder seasons in southern coastal marshes, bays, wet grasslands, and fields. Their diet is entirely vegetarian, consisting of grasses and grains, grazed from damp soils or even shallow water. Look out for them in large agricultural fields in places like the Skagit Valley! // #northwestnature by @mcmikephoto

This holiday weekend, would you rather spend your day off inside a crowded shopping mall frantically searching for deals, or enjoying the peaceful sounds of singing birds, fall leaves crunching below your boots and the fresh smell of pine trees? Wherever you are today, we hope you #optoutside! // #northwestnature 📸 by @tanya_filovets
Happy Thanksgiving from all of us! We're so grateful for Mother Nature's bounty. From salmon to apples, we all depend on what nature provides. Give some time today to reflect on the food on your plate and where it came from. In this photo, Makah tribal members mount salmon on cedar pikes for slow smoking on the beach in Neah Bay. This ancestral method is handed down to each generation and honors the salmon for its pivotal role in tribal life and culture. // Photo by @cameronkarsten. We traveled across Washington with Cameron to meet farmers and fishers alike, from recreational foragers to organic agriculture. Click the link in our bio to take a peek at our travels and share in the inspiration of Washington’s bounty.
"I prefer winter and Fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape — the loneliness of it, the dead feeling of winter. Something waits beneath it, the whole story doesn't show." Andrew Wyeth // #northwestnature 📸 by @schlemur
“Long, blue, spiky-edged shadows crept out across the snow-fields, while a rosy glow, at first scarce discernible, gradually deepened and suffused every mountain-top, flushing the glaciers and the harsh crags above them. This was the alpenglow, to me the most impressive of all the terrestrial manifestations of God. At the touch of this divine light, the mountains seemed to kindle to a rapt, religious consciousness, and stood hushed like devout worshippers waiting to be blessed.” John Muir // #northwestnature 📸 by @lucaspete23
“I came down over the sleepy mountains where our wide toes plunged into the weeping shale to tear our skin up off from the bottom. Leaves our ankles bare. Don't just wander back and forth and leave it. Build it into pinnacles and shrines of some. Some ghastly predicament of mine. Oh but dear the sky is low. Gather up it's harm in gauze with grateful arms.” "Obedear" by the band Purity Ring #northwestnature 📸 by @tarynrehn
"No water, no life. No blue, no green." Sylvia Earle // #northwestnature 📸 by @hellomynameisbrad
