I took this series of images of misty marshland, but couldn’t decide which one(s) I liked, so I’m including them all. These were taken a while back at the Nisqually – Billy Frank Jr. National Wildlife Refuge … and they are unaltered color images … even though they look like sepia toned.
I was wandering through my photos and came across this image of one of the twin barns at the Nisqually – Billy Frank Jr. National Wildlife Refuge. It wasn’t taken lately, so no, we aren’t having that kind of weather this week. Good think, too. I want some warmer weather, thank you.
I thought this was interesting algae that had grown on one of the beaver ponds at the Billy Frank Jr. Nisqually National Wildlife Reserve (just east of Olympia). I like the bare branches of the alder and cottonwood in the background … a nice contrast. Sorry I don’t have a name for the Algae for those of you interested in such details.
And I bet some of you were expecting a photo that had a chipmunk and a rabbit in the same image. Sorry about that. I’ve never seen a rabbit climb a tree, either. Anyway, I’m just working my way through images and doing some editing and clean-up … plus adding some of Lightroom’s adjustments since I took some of these several years ago. I would recommend doing that every so often. Adobe really does make significant changes to their editing tools now and then … it makes it worthwhile to pay the subscription fee to get all the updates (unlike some company’s that charge the subscription fee and in return you get no new features).
I think this is the native snowshoe hare, but I’m not sure it hasn’t been hybridized with some domestic variety. But it’s a cute little bunny anyway, yes?
