Stellar view of Liberty Lake! In 1973 this community had the foresight to save their lake and aquifer by voting to form a sewer district and treating wastewater. Today the sewer and water district along with the county, city of Spokane and industry are investing millions to protect the #SpokaneRiver. #spokanedoesntsuck #pnw #washingtonstate #creativebynature

Ooh-ah! Meet the #CritteroftheMonth, the colorful Tube-Dwelling Anemone! These anthozoans often grow in large groups and with the current cascading over their tentacles, they can easily be mistaken for wildflowers dancing in the breeze! Their fantastic tricks don’t stop there, their waving tentacles also glow! The radiant blossoms absorb ultraviolet light and shine it back as visible light to stave off fish looking for a nibble. Follow the link to our blog (link in profile) to meet this brilliant blossom! Photo courtesy of Dave Cowles. #PugetSound #LetsTalkScience #EyesUnderPugetSound
