Views of Sequim, the Olympic Peninsula. . .and beyond
This is the tunnel that leads you from the storm king parking lot to the trails for both storm king and Marymere Falls. Storm king is a 4+ rated trail to the top of the mountain -but with FANTASTIC views on a clear day. The 1.5 mile trail to the falls is easy and flat. ALTHOUGH to see the whole falls you must climb up a steep 1/4 mile with switchbacks and big steps.
When I hike people often stop and look where I’m looking/photographing and say “What are you looking at?” I’ll say the dirt, or the trees etc… and I often get a “huh…” response. I find beauty EVERYWHERE.
This male Barrow’s Goldeneye was really trying to impress this female. He would dive and flap and make lots of bubbles in the process.
We had a break in the weather, so got up at 0 dark thirty to be able to arrive at the lake before sunrise. We were hoping for some clouds to make it interesting. Mother Nature did not disappoint!
I love looking at logs and snags in the forest and often see faces and shapes. I just needed to add the eyes, and there you have it. The easter bunny hiding out until next year!
This very foggy shot was taken at Lake Crescent. At least it stopped raining!
I am always fascinated by the fog and clouds drifting in and out of the tree in the Olympics. I thought this was more powerful in Sepia.
Kalaloch Beach is long and straight without the sea stacks found on most the other beaches.
