One of the benefits of managing social media for the day job: stumbling across random links like
this. How amazing are these shots captured by Seattle City Light's cameras in the Skagit River Watershed?

City Light acquired a large acreage in the Watershed to preserve and enhance (and in some cases restore) natural habitat; as part of the deal for any company that wants to industrialize an area, they need to mitigate their impact through dedicated restoration and/or preservation. There are similar deals being made along the Duwamish River in South Seattle, an area of dense industrialization and struggling habitat. It's amazing to see the diversity of wildlife living and using this one patch of habitat - recognize that little tree in the center of the shot?

We're sometimes campers, sometimes hikers, sometimes backpackers (every year, we wish we were more so), but rarely do we get to experience such a close up relationship to the animals in our region. These images are making me jealous of Seattle City Light...
