Photo from Bloedel Reserve (Bainbridge Island, WA). It is a challenge getting a good photo of tall grass.

This was 14 July 2018 at about 9:40PM. I used a tripod to keep the trees and the surface of the moon both in focus at f/6.3 without bumping up the ISO too high. The sunset was just fading and the range of pastels was very nice.

Photo from the East Folk Quinault valley of the Olympic National Park. I was on a day hike after backpacking in several miles. I was struck by the amazing texture of the bark on a tree along the trail.
