Readers’ wildlife photos – Why Evolution Is True

Today’s photos come from reader Jim Blilie. Jim’s captions and IDs are indented, and you can enlarge the photos by clicking on them.

I haven’t been getting “out” much since July when I badly injured my gimpy left knee. Full knee replacement is coming but It’s not clear yet exactly when.

I’ve been having some fun participating in a Facebook group for black and white landscape photography. I’ve been revisiting many of my old images in software (Lightroom), creating what you might think of as “new prints” in black and white only.

These are all landscape photos from Washington and Oregon.

First a group from Cannon Beach, Oregon, a favorite retreat for us when the summer weather at our home in Klickitat County, Washington gets too hot.

Then three from the Palouse, the rolling loess-soil, wheat-growing region of Washington State (primarily) near Pullman, Washington, where our son Jamie is now a junior studying engineering at Washington State University.
