In addition to taking a walk in the park after last week's snow, I took a drive down to North Bend. The intent was to see if I could find some of the elk that live down that way and get some elk-in-the-snow shots. Alas, I did not see them.

So I stopped by one of my favorite views of Mount Si, figuring it would look very nice with a fresh coat of snow.

It did. :)

Gear: Nikon Z 7II, Nikon Z 24-70mm f2.8 S

Color photo. Mount Si rises above the waters of Borst Lake. The far shore is lined with bare trees. The sheer faces of the mountain are white with new snow. Three puffy white clouds are in the blue sky above the mountain. The top half of the photo is reflected in the water of the bottom half.

I spent my weekend getting out and enjoying the sun and the autumn color, visiting places both new to me and familiar.

The familiar place was Mount Si, which is the mountain partly responsible for me moving to Washington in the first place. I'd flown up to Seattle for a job interview and, afterwards, had a limited amount of time to explore the area. I ended up down in Snoqualmie, caught my first good view of Mount Si, and knew that I wanted to live here.

The new place was the aptly named High Steel Bridge, out on the Olympic Peninsula. It crosses a steep gorge over the South Fork Skokomish River and the view from the span is pretty great. I brought my drone so that I could include the bridge in a shot.

I hope you all had a great weekend, and are getting the opportunity to see some autumn colors in your area.

Gear: Nikon Z7 II, Nikon Z 24-70mm f2.8 S, DJI Mini 3 Pro

The elk are at meadowbrook farms in #northbendwa off of Railroad Ave. #snoqulamie #northbend #mountsi

The now cast Aqi sensor in #northbendwa is almost certainly malfunctioning as it currently reports excellent air quality despite every sensor in the region showing unhealthy air. Also, the air is visibly hazy and smells like fire. #northbend #snoqualmie #snoqualmiefalls #twinpeaks #mountsi
