Views of Sequim, the Olympic Peninsula. . .and beyond
This is a BEAUTIFUL spot to hike with several loops of different lengths. Most with good boardwalks or paths. It a little over an hours drive from Sequim. If you stay at the lodge there you can g in the thermal pools. I’ve never been but it looked mighty inviting after our hikes.
This was taken just north of the Solduc falls. The fall color really adds to the fairytale ambience.
When a friend and I went to Solduc falls, we saw quite a line up pulled over at the rive so we stopped to see what was the commotion. The salmon were running heavily and it was so fun to watch them launch themselves up the little falls.
When my friend and I were hiking Sol Duc we saw this couple in wedding garb hiking the trail. I caught them at the Falls. I really liked this shot with her reaching out for him (right after her photographer had jus “fluffed” her dress)
If anyone knows who they are, I’d love to send them the photos.
Watching these salmon run the rapids up the Sol Duc River to spawn was jaw dropping. They sure are determined. They’d launch and splat on the wall just to the right of this salmon. You could hear the slap from hundreds of feet away. Then they’d get swept back down the rapids…It’s gotta be frustrating even for a fish!
Kingfisher at Railroad Bridge Park.
Well, I am a Kingfisher…
I have been trying to catch a good Kingfisher in flight shot for 7 years! At long last. This guy was at Railroad Bridge Park, flitting in a triangle between two stumps and a tree. I spent about 3 hours there but finally captured quite of few shots I’m happy with.
