The Eagle at Hidden Falls

A couple of months ago my husband took some footage of one of the bald eagles that we tend to see in late winter or early spring.

Rain, Rabbits, and a Creaky House

When you say the word “rain forest” to many people, they instantly get the concept of a tropical rain forest. Not all rain forests are tropical. I live in a rain forest in the Pacific Northwest. Its very non-tropical, and its very rainy. Read more »
