Did you notice the latest photos in our Blog banner? They’re part of a rotation of photos submitted by you — our enthusiastic readers.

Roger Newman from Shelton submitted a beautiful photo of Coast Rhododendrons taken near Walker Mountain near Quilcene. The Coast Rhododendron (Rhododendron macrophyllum) is our state flower.

His other submission is one of Native American Racing Canoes — so sleek and fast. Can’t you imagine them gliding swiftly across the water?

Both of Roger’s photos were part of our Blog Banner Photo Challenge — photos you’ve taken of scenes in our great state of Washington. There’s still plenty of time to send us your favorite photo for the Blog banner. For more details, read the 08 July 2015 blog post or enter “Blog Banner” in the search bar on the right.

We hope to see your photo soon!
