Barred

It's been a while since I've visited the Yesler Swamp. Pretty cool to see the changes that have happened hear over two years. Like this boardwalk! It's made of rot resistant heartwood cedar and is designed to be low-impact on the surrounding fragile swamp environment.

Tyler ties pink tape around a native tree signaling to Swamp visitors to take heed of where to step.

Then I saw my very first barred owl!!

The boardwalk is about 2/3 finished. The Friends of Yesler Swamp is currently looking for funding sources to continue and finish the project. 

  Even in the middle of a highly urban area, you can still find pockets of greenery and wildlife. The Yesler Swamp is a prime example of a community coming together to help preserve and tend to shared green spaces.

Dani and Snike

Before Dani heads off the D.C. and then Arizona in the next couple of days, we decided one more photo session was only appropriate, this time featuring Snike the snake! They are a great duo and it was fun to get back into portraits. Good luck with your fellowship Dani!

Northwest Asian Weekly

Last week I took photos for the Northwest Asian Weekly newspaper. The Chinese American Citizens Alliance had a conference in Seattle and the group was schedule to tour the newspaper office, so I hung out around the ID to snap some photos. It felt good to have an assignment again. This whole post-grad situation is weird, and some days are better than others. Having something like this to do added a little excitement to the monotony of finding actual employment..
