Picture Share – Nisqually Wildlife Refuge and Fort Worden State Historical Park

Posted on March 21, 2024 | 14 comments

The Hubster and I drove to the west coast to visit our son and his family.

The weather was so gorgeous and we had a great time visiting and getting our family loves.

I am sharing a few scenic photos from two of the places that we enjoyed while we were on the coast.

Enjoy!

A friend expressed interest in these Twin Barns…she wanted to know more, and I did answer her (you can read this in the comments for this post). If you would like to know more about the barns and the refuge, I am editing this post to include the following links.

*Picture heavy post!

On my last day of vacation, our daughter-in-law took Hubby and I to the Nisqually Wildlife Refuge.

I shared about this wonderful estuary at the Nisqually River delta in this post.

I love visiting here!

I wasn’t ready for this heron. We had just gotten out of the car, and I had heard noise in the water behind the bushes. I was surprised when I saw the heron getting her breakfast!

Unfortunately, my camera wasn’t acclimated yet, and I had mist on the lens! I still have so much about photography to learn!

Oops!

I hope you enjoyed the sharing of what I did on my vacation (never thought I’d be writing about vacation once I left grade school).

Stay safe. Stay healthy.

See the world around you!

*Warning: Picture heavy post!

This will be my last post on what I did during vacation. I had such a grand time with my family, and I appreciate them so much!

Our son and daughter-in-law took Hubby and I to another wonderful wildlife refuge. I would come back again and again if I could! This one is called the Nisqually Wildlife Refuge. There is so much to explore, I barely touched the surface. I wish I had better photos, but you will get the idea. There were a lot of eagles, but they weren’t interested in a photo shoot.

Here is another link that shares about the refuge.

These last few photos Hubby took with his pocket camera. There were so many waterfowl creatures, and plenty of bird watchers and better photographers than we out this day!
