Views of Sequim, the Olympic Peninsula. . .and beyond
Walking thru a park you can see Canadian geese nesting everywhere. This one had built her nest next to the tree.
This one was next to a rock–otherwise right out in the open. Another was just in the middle of a field-but I lost that photo.
This lil Pine Siskin was resting on my rock…he looked a little dazed and didn’t move as I ran back into the house to get my camera. (Don’t worry he flew off a few minutes later!)
I saw this heron come out of the grass to hunt, and all of a sudden fish were jumping everywhere. It was a long way away even for my 600mm lens but I did manage to capture two fish jumping.
I’m very drawn to wildlife photos with the creatures just peaking out of the trees or especially grasses. It was shot on a very over caste morning before the sun came up. When I took the noise out of the photo it gave it this slightly painterly look which I liked.
These goslings were eating down around Three Crabs Rd here in Sequim–a big wetlands filled with birds.
When this guy landed on the tippy tip of this tree, it wanged back and forth so hard I didn’t think he’s stay. But those talons grip well!
This is one of my favorite birds that visits my yard. The first time I saw him I thought he was an escaped pet–he was soooo vibrant.
