Barred Owlet (Strix varia) - Duckabush River Valley, Olympic National Forest

Last week when I was over on the Olympic Peninsula camping with my children and grandchildren, Victoria (my new daughter-in-law) heard an owl in the forest canopy (I consider her an expert in birding) and Parker (grandson) saw one fly. I set up my tripod with 100-400 mm lens and teleconverter to make some photographs of this owlet and it's sibling calling to mom to feed them.

Peace

Before my Daughter and my Grandkids flew back to the east coast, I spent a few days camping with them and my Son, Seth and my new Daughter-in-law Victoria. On the way home, I visited an old friend, this waterfall along the Rocky Brook road that climbs from Walker Pass on US 101 in the Olympic National Forest.

This is one of those places that I keep returning to hoping that the air will be still so I can photograph non-blury Maidenhair Ferns with a long enough exposure to render the water silky. This was the first time the air was still... happy me

Peace
