Good morning friends!
This is one more photo from last week's hike. I somehow like photos of such sharp turns. Maybe because the incline is visible? Not sure.
Anyways! This was after a part of the trail that was a bit exposed and shortly before reaching the summit. Weather wasn't all great that day, but the whole day was a gem 💎 🥰

Hey friends, here's one more from our 1st-may-walk. I really like the perspective. Maybe I'll even print it.
But.. I'd love to see the spot in really great light, like mornings or late in the day.
But the photo is as it is and I hope you enjoy the view with me.

While I was out hardware shopping, my wife had an opportunity to witness the food chain up close. A small hawk was tearing feathers off of a smaller bird in our backyard. We think it was a Morning Dove, but without forensic services, we can't be sure. Apologies for the blurry photo... or perhaps not if you're squeamish.

Hey friends! Greetings from a tiny walk to one of my afternoon-hills.
We even met friends there on the way up 😀
I'm currently thinking about making a short video about a hike in January. The problem is that the photos aren't epic vistas. So I fear the time is just not well invested - especially as I'd have to record extra audio (which I've never done before)

Hi all! Yesterday we did a nice walk around a nearby village. I wanted to practice using foreground. As expected: not too easy!
How low do I have to go, which aperture, are there enough flowers, are they distributed "well" enough.
Is there a midground that contributes positively?
Well. It was a nice opportunity to practice! And this is the result..

Conboy Lake National Wildlife Refuge
Spent a wonderful day at this somewhat remote national wildlife refuge. Located on the southern side of Mt Adams (great views of the volcano) in Washington State. There is an easy 2 mile hike along the recovering marsh and wooded area. Lots of bird life - migrating sandhill cranes stop here on their journey.
There is an amazing success story here. Riley, Adam and the other members of the team have been successful in the recovery of the endangered oregon spotted frog. The populations of the frog at this location have almost fully recovered. It is worth spending a little time in the small visitor center chatting with the biologists.

Hi friends!
As I won't be able to compile the video the next day, I decided to just share the photos already. I played around a lot with foregrounds .. and honestly deleted most of them - but I also learned a lot.
We did this trail ... many years ago and we always wanted to revisit it. (of course I felt challenged to take better photos as well)
I hope you enjoy the photo as much as I did walking the trail.
