The photographic journey of GILBERT W. ARIAS, a Seattle/Tacoma based Photojournalist..

In 2009, like so many of my newspaper colleagues I found myself unemployed after the 146-yr-old newspaper I worked at closed its doors and moved to a web only edition. Some 12-years later I find I’m still mourning the loss of another great American industry, the daily newspaper.

Hummingbird


Did you know that the hummingbird is the smallest type of bird and also the smallest animal to have a backbone? Like other birds, hummingbirds communicate using visual displays, they are very territorial and have been seen chasing each other as well as larger bird’s from their territories. A few years ago I witness two hummingbirds buzz the neighbor’s cat as he ran across the yard.
