Regular readers will have noted that I often have images of misty mountain ridges. And yes, I really like the mystery of watching clouds move through the forested ridges that are so common in the Olympic Mountains. So, I hope you enjoy this one, it’s a nice one that shows the misty mood pretty well.
I found these nice little falls in a visit to the Quinault Rain Forest in the Olympic National Park.
This is one of the spring flowers I enjoy out in the woods. A fairly common plant, I had been calling it “Twin Flower”. So I was a little surprised when I found that I was wrong after all this time. (and glad to correct myself before posting it out there on the internet) And I like that especially since I have a part of my family tree that were Hookers….
I would really encourage you to click on the image above to get a larger image view of this photo. I was over camped on the Quinault river and set up my camera on a tripod. I had a 21mm lens on my DSLR and an exposure of 15 seconds … a combination that lets you take some interesting night photos without having the stars turn into tracks.
This is a photo that shows that I like about the town I live in now. Port Townsend has a nice lighthouse, a ferry terminal and a rich history of maritime industries. Plus great views and lovely weather. All things that I enjoy and look forward to now that we are getting into springtime. Yay Spring!!!!
