Check out this great shot of the snowy Palouse from our Visual Content Specialist @greenhollowstudio! “Looking out over the Palouse, I’m feeling on top of the world! It’s amazing with some elevation what you can see when the weather is clear. I could see all the way down to the Wallowa and Blue mountains. And Mount Rainier (just kidding)” . . Tag us or #northwestnature in your snow photos and we’ll feature them on our page!
"Well, I know now. I know a little more how much a simple thing like a snowfall can mean to a person” Sylvia Plath As our snow begins to turn to rain in Western Washington, we'd like to remember the image of snow gently caressing each tree. Is there any other force that so greatly alters the landscape and brings such positive feelings to the viewer? . . // #northwestnature 📸 by @outdoorstacy

Happy #WildlifeWednesday! Who else thinks raptors are pretty cool? The word “raptor” means “to seize or grasp” in Latin. Raptors use their powerful, sharp talons to capture their prey and to defend themselves. This great photo of an American kestrel comes to us from photographer Lauren Owens.
“I thought of you and how you love this beauty, And walking up the long beach all alone I heard the waves breaking in measured thunder As you and I once heard their monotone. Around me were the echoing dunes, beyond me The cold and sparkling silver of the sea -- We two will pass through death and ages lengthen Before you hear that sound again with me.” Sarah Teasdale // #northwestnature 📸 by @matthewphoto1
WHOA 😮 // #northwestnature by @fal.curren
It's quite mindblowing to be able to look at a mountain and see the history imprinted in the rock face. Here, layered rock been pushed up and tilted sideways by tectonic forces over eons. What may have been under the sea is now jutting into the sky! For those who look, geologic features tell fascinating stories. // #northwestnature 📸 by @tarynrehn
