Geese Taking Off

Geese Taking Off

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.

A reminder:

I have a book available on the Kindle site. It is a memoir titled 60 Years of Hiking in the Olympics. It has over 100 photographs and covers more than 100 different hikes and backpacks. I have it priced to share at $2.99 (US).

Foggy Morning

Foggy Morning

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.

Hollow Pilings

Hollow Pilings

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?

Questions with no answers from your blogger.

One answer to an unasked question: the shadow is of a railroad tressle.

More Sky Lights: Sun and Moon

Sunset over Capitol Lake

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.

Cinnamon Teal

A Pair of Cinnamon Teal

One of my favorite ducks is the cinnamon teal. I think the coloration is great … and the little beady red eyes remind me of a couple early mornings when I didn’t get enough sleep. I found these at the Billy Frank Jr. Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge outside Olympia, Washington.
