The sun sets over Puget Sound. A horizontal opening in the clouds gives the impression that the sun is a fireball streaking across the sky from right to left. In the distance, purple hills of the Olympic Mountains lie low on the horizon. In the foreground, silhouettes of old jagged piling jut vertically out of the rippling water near the shore. Picnic Point Park, Edmonds, WA. 08 August 2025

A ruby-throated hummingbird hovering in front of a cardinal flower. The cardinal flower is a tall plant just right of center at the photo. The bottom 2/3 of it is bare, but at the top are a number of brilliant scarlet flowers. The hummingbird is hovering just to the left of the red flowers. It is a female with a metallic green back and head and a white throat. The eye is black with a small white spot behind. The eye and the long beak are black. Its dark wings are spread open behind the bird. There is a little bit of black edging on the tail and white at the very end. In the background are a lot of blurred pink flowers and green leaves.
