Hot times at the Wakarusa Wetlands

Tuesday, August 10th, 2010

If you visit the wetlands during this heat wave, remember, the trick is to get there as early as possible. Bring water and keep hydrated. There is a lot of activity in the early morning and if you are a photographer, you know you can’t beat that morning light. Click on pictures to enlarge.

Wakarusa Wetlands river otters or beavers?

Sunday, April 18th, 2010

I saw these two playing in the water near the pergola this morning. The photos are terrible as it was early and very foggy. What seemed different was how they seemed to be playing like otters play and how they kept rising up out of the water to look at me. I tried to get pictures of that, but they were just too fast. Perhaps it is just wishful thinking on my part, but it sure would be neat if we had a couple of river otters back there (and maybe even these two making more). :) If anyone can id them with these poor photos, that would be wonderful.

Finally, some sun

I spend a few hours at the Wakarusa wetlands this morning. It started out pretty foggy, but once the sun came out, it was a very nice morning. Click on pictures to enlarge.

More from the Wakarusa wetlands

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

I’m finally getting around to catching up the blog. These are from my walk last Thursday. It was a bit chilly, but a wonderful day to be out. The wind felt good and the sun coming in and out of the clouds made for some very nice light. Click on pictures to enlarge.
