Description
The =flower-club has a Native Plant Contest running. Here are your plant IDs: at the far back left we have half-hidden branches of Western Red Cedar (Thuja plicata), the pink flowers are Salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis), the two fern fronds on the left are likely Bracken Fern (Pteridium aquilinum), the white flower is the Western Trillium (Trillium ovatum), the foliage below the Trillium is from the Pacific Bleeding Heart (Dicentra formosa), back right is a Sword Fern (Polystichum munitum). All are native to the Pacific Northwest region of North America, as found on this website from the Washington Trails Association: [link] .
The feather I found on the ground, so I'm not sure what it's from. Size and colour would be consistent with a primary wing feather from a Canada Goose.
The trillium was drawn from a reference photo, it's not a good idea to pick these. Trilliums grow from an underground rhizome which sends up a stem bearing one flower and all the leaves. If the stem and leaves are removed, the rhizome is deprived of all sources of photosynthate (ie. food) for the rest of the season. This can cause the rhizome to die. Several states and provinces have laws against picking trilliums.

Technical info: Mechanical pencil on paper for the initial sketch, linen texture from a photo of some pants I have, Photoshop colour. Time: about two days of quality time with my tablet.
