A fun piece of historic #PNW #film ephemera that turned up yesterday. A c.1970 film bag for Alpha Cine, a processing lab that closed over 10 years ago.

View showing the narrow sunlit North waterfall from inside a shallow wide cavern behind the falls. The view somewhat resembles a narrowed eye shape with the falls like a white vertical pupil in the center. Jan Groh Photograbee 2025.
I daresay this image I took from deep inside the cavern behind North Falls at Silver Falls State Park in Oregon July 2025 is perfect for this week's #BlueSkyArtShow theme of #openings

A vibrant sunset illuminates Mount Rainier, with Seattle's skyline visible in the distance, creating a picturesque landscape.
Golden hour magic over Seattle, with the Rainier glow. Beautiful view.

Two dense clusters of deep blue, grape-like flowers of grape hyacinth (Muscari armeniacum) rise among green leaves and woody mulch, lit by bright sunlight.
A fully open, layered coral-pink bloom of camellia (Camellia japonica) is centered among glossy dark green leaves, with soft light highlighting the ruffled petals.
Cascading clusters of red, bell-shaped flowers of Pieris japonica hang in dense sprays, with glossy green leaves and dappled sunlight in the background.
NATIVE Close-up of small, pale yellow-green, star-shaped flowers hanging from a thin stem of osoberry (Oemleria cerasiformis). The blossoms dangle delicately with fine stamens visible against a softly blurred woodland background.

A close up of Mount Rainier in the distance looming over nearer green forested mountains that slope down to a valley below. Mount Rainier, or Tahoma shows only it's upper snow capped flanks, coating both rocky ridges and the surfaces of glaciers. The sky is a pale blue, with only one cloud making a puffy smudge away from Rainiers summit.
A close up of Mount Saint Helens south side with snow down to the forests on it's lower flanks. These forests did not get destroyed in the 1980 eruption like everything on the North side of the mountain. The mountain and it's lower flanks take on shades of blue because of the distance of about 30 miles. It's left side shows less features than it's right side due to the sun angle which is coming from the far left, and low. The right side shows many furrows and creases that are left overs from the scarring made by hot mud flows roaring down during the 1980 eruption. Dark exposed rocky ridgelines show more on this side as well. The foreground dense green forested mountainsides show a few rocky ridges sticking out of the forest. Long shadows lead down to the valleys below on the right flanks. The sky over the mountain is a pale blue without clouds.
A wider photo with both Mount Saint Helens (to the left), and Mount Rainier (To the right before a small alpine evergreen in the foreground). The sky over the two massive snow clad mountains is almost cloudless, except for a small cloud to the right of Mount Rainiers summit. The nearer mountainsides are almost covered in green forest, with deep shadows on their right side. The sun illumination is from the left and low. So the big mountains both show shading on the right sides. In the immediate foreground is a fairly flat area with lichen covered outcroppings of stone jutting out of the ground. Small tough shrubs poke up between the stone in patches. And a small evergreen tree is on the right edge, it's white bark is visible between sparce tough limbs that are all short and horizontal. The plants have adapted for a lot of snow and wind at this place.
One of the peaks that make up Silver Star Mountain in Washington State. The peak is very cone shaped, lit from the right, and crisscrossed by a trail switching back and forth across it's flank facing us. A little snow is visible on the cones left side in the sunlight. Above the rocky peak are faint high clouds low down in the otherwise blue sky, and a jet contrail from the upper left side to the corner upper right diagonally. A few trees are on the right slope (three). Along a foreground slope, more tall green alpine conifers descend down a shallow draw down to the right. A gray wide trail leads from the lower left into the trees, then turns toward them and disappears around a nearby corner. The while landscape is covered in low tan dormant grasses, and lighter green small brush and green moss covered stones.
I'm going to cap off the fun hike pics from Silver Star Mountain with a four pick of the surrounding mountains, and one of the peaks at Silver Star.

A peak a boo perspective, between the trees and shrubberies, a majestic Mt Hood stands far in the distance gently framed by the nature in the garden.

It is a GORGEOUS day here in the #PNW. Springtime here always starts with a culinary adventure. That’s the Chi town dog at our spring/summer hot dog stand. And a stop at the candy shop is always a must. Plus…saw my friend, Scot, at the hot dog place. I love that guy! #foodsky

A suburban street lined with similar-looking single-family homes with minimalistic, bland yards. Rolling hills of the Palouse Prairie appear in the background, green and uniformly smooth in texture. The sky is slightly overcast. The entire scene is bathed in the warm yellows and oranges of sunset.

Pretty typical dude behavior, driving the getaway car & making his partner (wife?) go steal the packages. Then he ambles over with ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE OF URGENCY after she seriously hurts herself falling.
Broad needs a new line of work & a new man 😑

“The number of people cycling to work…increased in 2024, as did the number of companies paying their employees to commute by bike.
"The cycling allowance certainly constitutes an incentive: it is … exempt from social security contributions and taxes," said Michiels.”
Let’s go! Oregon first?

Sea stacks awash in the surf show through a diamond-shaped opening in dense evergreen trees above Cape Meares, OR.
Had to stop for this one.

Starling perched at the end of an evergreen branch. The dark bird is catching the light to show off lovely iridescent teals and blues on its feathers. Blue sky background.
The same bird from the previous photo, in profile, flying. The bird's wings are raised, and it is only barely in the frame of the photo. Blue sky background.
Starling, diptych.

a picture of several American goldfinches, perched on a unique, rustic metal bird feeder. the feeder is designed to resemble an upside-down umbrella, complete with a small, whimsical metal cat in the center. the birds are actively feeding while siting on the rim of the umbrella. in the background is blurry green foliage.
American Goldfinches on the feeder for today’s alt #BirdOfTheDay theme of #Finches, as set by Rob @robcrank68.bsky.social
