Seattle Sunrise

I went for an early morning walk today. The sun was still low in the sky and there were few cars on the roads. I could hear hummingbirds chirp, attracted to the beautiful gardens in my neighborhood.

As much as I appreciate living in Seattle…

We were fortunate to have spotted that quetzal in the Monteverde cloud forest. That and about 100 hummingbirds!
