October 12 is now celebrated as Indigenous Peoples Day and October is celebrated as pumpkin month. But did you know that pumpkins are native to North America and were cultivated by Native Americans more than 9,000 years ago? The oldest pumpkin seeds were discovered in Mexico and were between 5,000 and 7,000 years old. The practice of carving Jack-O'-Lanterns was introduced by Irish immigrants. In Ireland, Jack-O'-Lanterns were carved into potatoes or turnips (really!). After arriving in America, the Irish discovered that pumpkins are way easier to carve.

September 17 is National Fox Day. To celebrate, I found some favorite images of arctic foxes at Point Defiance Zoo in 2024 and a family of foxes in the Pearson family's garden in 2016.

Looking out the window, there was a tiny face in the opening of one of the birdhouses in the backyard. On closer look...it was a tiny Jabba the Hut! Okay, treefrog in late summer colors (browns). What a difference from the chickadees that nested there a couple of years ago. ❤️

September 5 is National Hummingbird Day! I thought I would share a few of my favorite images from the past 20 years. In April, I spent a few days in southeast Arizona working on my bucket list item to see and photograph 10 different kinds of hummingbird. I saw a dozen! I got a few good shots but will need to go again to get more. I photographed my first hummingbird at the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum in 2007.

Spent Sunday at Mount Rainier National Park, most of the time at Tipsoo Lake at Chinook Pass. The area is less crowded than other areas of the park and often has different weather. The only time seeing Mount Rainier (the Mountain was out!) without being obscured by clouds was on WA Route 410 over Chinook Pass. And then after leaving the park with spectacular views from Eatonville on WA Route 7. The little critter I thought was a chipmunk was actually a golden-mantled ground squirrel. S/he was a little bigger than a chipmunk. Wildflowers are at the end of the season but still beautiful. More photos here: https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjD388o
