I went back to Kubota Garden yesterday to photograph the twisted Japanese maple, this time from underneath, looking straight up into the canopy. The bark was still wet from the rain, dark and smooth against the orange leaves. When I showed my wife this one, she said it looked like a sculpture. I think she is right. It looks less grown than carved. Do you see a sculpture in it, or something else? I keep finding new shapes every time I look at it. #JapaneseMaple #KubotaGarden #Seattle #PNW #FallColors #Washington

A dairy farm worker in Washington state has tested positive for H5N1 bird flu after exposure to infected cows, the first human case of the virus in the US this year. Washington health officials say the person is not seriously ill and is isolating at home, and that the risk to the public remains low. The case came a week after the state's first H5N1 detections in dairy cattle, at two farms in Yakima County. Since the virus spilled over into US dairy herds in 2024 it has infected more than 1,000 herds, and there have been at least 72 human cases in the US, almost all after close contact with sick animals. Two people died. Case numbers are thought to be a big undercount: mild cases look like a cold or Covid, and many dairy workers avoid voluntary testing for fear of contact with law enforcement. https://www.yahoo.com/news/science/articles/us-records-first-human-case-142752243.html #H5N1 #BirdFlu #PublicHealth #Washington #Dairy
