This has been an amazingly warm fall. It’s mid October and temps are still in the 50s with BEAUTIFUL sunsets and sunrises.

Bye Bye Birdie
This BEAUTIFUL Western Tanager and a few of his friends come to our area (and my bird feeders) each summer. The first time we saw one we thought somebodies exotic bird got loose it was so vibrant compared to all the other birds. They have flown south for the winter.
Ahhhh for LOVE
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.
Sol Duc Falls
Sol Duc Falls is only a 1.8 mile RT trail from the main parking lot. Not too much elevation climb. But then you are rewarded BIG TIME with a three horsetail falls with multiple view points. For this one I climbed out and down from the main trail.
Sol Duc has a hot springs and a lodge with little cabins for rent. It’s about 90 minutes from Sequim.
Faraway Friday-Alaska
Living at the foot of the Olympic Mountains you wouldn’t think I’d get that excited by more mountains. But this view from Homer Bay was filled with so many layers. And I’m a sucker for layers.
Running the Sol Duc
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!
Wildlife Wednesday
I just want one (for now anyway)
