A small scale slithers on the hiking path, seen on a walk through the Bloedel Reserve, near Seattle, Washington, US on September 24, 2024. The Bloedel Reserve is a 150-acre forest garden on Bainbridge Island. It was created by Virginia and Prentice Bloedel, the vice-chairman of the lumber company MacMillan Bloedel Limited, under the influence of the conservation movement and Asian philosophy.
