Our national parks
The national parks are our shared Heritage. Here are a few pictures from the three parks I was fortunate enough to visit last year.
Olympic National Park
Mount Rainier
Glacier National Park
No rain…but here’s a deer
For Cee’s Black and White Challenge: Animals this week, I’ve been playing with some of the Black & White Filter Presets in Adobe Lightroom using a couple of pictures taken at Hurricane Ridge (Olympic National Park in Washington State) last summer.
Picture 1:
Picture 2:
And a couple of dears:
My Empress
…and my half sister Sam (we have different mothers!)
The captions (you can see them by hovering over the picture) say which preset was used. I included the originals so one can see how the filter works with the original colors.
Happy holidays, whatever flavor you prefer and a Merry Midwinter!
Journey to a magic kingdom
This Journey wasn’t to Disneyland. A few weeks ago we went to the Olympic National Park and took a short walk up to Marymere Falls.
The hike (it’s really just a walk, there is a short steep section but it has stairs) starts at the Storm King Ranger Station on the shore of Lake Crescent. It doesn’t have the awe inspiring grandeur that is present in other parts of the park but is has a magical charm.
