While I was going through my image library to find images to share in this weeks posts, I came across this photo of a pond in the Billy Frank Jr. Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge outside of Olympia, WA. It made me think of a certain reflecting pool and the struggles of people attempting to control the algal growth. That made me smile. I hope it does you too.
I saw this small group of geese taking off at the Nisqually Natural Wildlife Refuge (AKA Billy Frank Jr. Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge) just east of Olympia, WA. There were thousands (?) on the ground there, but these five seemed to have a group of their own.

I like the muted tones that fog gives you … it softens everything.
I took this near Capitol Lake in Olympia, WA. using a 300mm lens on my Nikon D810. I cropped the bottom off, it seemed to distract from the main photo element.

These pilings always intrigued me. Especially the daffodils (at least that’s what they look like here) that are growing in several of them. Did someone plant them? How did they do that? from a canoe, maybe? They are in Capitol Lake in Olympia, WA … and how are they growing? Did dirt get added to the cavities, or are they just growing in rotting wood?

These are a couple of sky images that I took a while back. Both were taken from Olympia. The one above was pretty dramatic and I was stunned by the way no one else seemed to notice or pay attention.
