West Seattle scene: Great blue heron in the great pink sunset

Another way to appreciate Friday night’s colorful sunset – in the light glowing off a great blue heron that Alki photographer David Hutchinson encountered at Constellation Park, south of Alki Point.

    Maybe we need a wildlife of West Seattle calender? I loved the owl shot last week, then the whales and the coyote. Now this beauty! Seriously some talented people photographing our West Seattle wildlife.

    These “nature” photos recently are becoming my favorite on the blog. Please, if it’s not already a “feature” – can you work out an arrangement to make it so?

    • WSB February 26, 2011 (1:03 pm)

      NotMe – by “feature” what do you mean? We share ’em when we get ’em, and when it works into the news stream. I don’t really want to break them out of the stream and partition them off on some other section of the site. Or do you mean, their own tag so they have a category you can look up in case you miss them?
      .
      Can’t just say “if it’s Tuesday it must be wildlife day” because it depends on what we get from fabulous photographers out there … whose contributions we greatly appreciate. (And in fact, several have just arrived in the inbox this morning, plus we have a multiple-coyote sighting waiting too … gotta get through a photo feature about painted and etched wildlife first!) – TR

    Great idea about the calendar Mags!

  • ws February 26, 2011 (7:56 pm)

    I thought that was a painting. So beautiful!

  • NotMe February 27, 2011 (10:08 am)

    Well, too many options! I am not sure… maybe their own tag. I think there are some very talented photographers out there, and it would be very cool to view them collectively – you know, instead of working.

Sorry, comment time is over.
