Views of Sequim, the Olympic Peninsula. . .and beyond
Primarily, I consider myself a bird photographer, and since Saguaro cacti are magnetics for cactus wrens, capturing one was my first thought when finding this statuesque 8-armed prickly beauty.
Although the birds refused to cooperate, I knew the clouds in the distance would be a rare occurrence during our visit, and since the temperatures were higher than normal for this time of year, the landscape before me was parched, but enticing enough to afford a photo – and my first one on our trip.
We’re back from the desert and before I say more, I want to thank both Lewis Bennett and Ardythe Wyndt for filling in for me last week. It helped to make our stay in Phoenix much more enjoyable, and I know you readers appreciated seeing their work.
With that said…it was quite a week, and I came home with hundreds of images from our trips to two botanical gardens (I was craving a “green” fix from the moment we stepped off the plane) and Butterfly World in Scottsdale. I hope you’ll enjoy sharing in our adventures in the week ahead. If anything, this trip made me appreciate the Pacific Northwest and Sequim much more than I ever envisioned!
