Views of Sequim, the Olympic Peninsula. . .and beyond
Protection from humans, but not predators…
I shot this from my boat. When I first took it I thought it was really big salmon. Protection Island is just off the Sequim coast in the straight. It has all sorts of bird wildlife….and seals.
This lil baby seal didn’t make it.
Freedom started as a lil idea that grew. Just like this lil baldy.
We should never take for granted that they will both still exist without our help!
Herons are so cool. I love the feathers that hang down their chests. They area always eyeing you (and the fish).
I have an entire wall of wildlife butts (in my guest bathroom-cause I think it’s funny). Unfortunately in wildlife photography as soon as they see (or smell) you they’re going the other way! As soon as I got my camera out and ready they turned tail and went the other way…
Kildeer parents will put on quite a show to distract you from their ground nests. The will run all around, pretend to be hurt–limp and drag a leg. Anything to keep your attention away from “the kids”
I love walking the many beaches right in the Sequim area to see what fauna are around. Usually you can find at least one Bald Eagle.
This Anna’s Hummer was hanging on for dear life this weekend. It was really blowing at the end of the bay. I only had a 50mm lens but he let me walk right up to him.
