This northern alligator lizard lives near me. I am always happy to see them when I find them in my yard. For more about alligator lizards, you might look here: https://wdfw.wa.gov/species-habitats/species/elgaria-coerulea

Trillium can be found at the Fort Townsend State Park and in many other forested areas around the region. I love exploring the woods and trails to find my favorite spring wildflowers. More on Fort Townsend State Park and trillium: https://parks.wa.gov/find-parks/state-parks/fort-townsend-historical-state-park and https://www.wnps.org/native-plant-directory/37-trillium-ovatum-var-ovatum

Here’s a short video we featured about the life cycle of trilliums back in 2020.

Linda Hanlon enjoys living on the Quimper Peninsula — a peninsula on the Olympic Peninsula. The interface of a watery world with shorelines, forests, and mountains nearby suits her curiosity and need to explore. Her work includes graphic design services for area nonprofits, photography, painting, mixed media, and clay work. See more of her work at: https://ptcreativedistrict.org/artists/lshanlon4/
