Sun stars at Theler Wetlands (crop)

I like the suggestion to crop out that log. Thanks for the tip, Aaron and Paul! Original wider version here: www.flickr.com/photos/polarcollision/4597939612/

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was on the fence about visiting Theler Wetlands and figured it might be a good place to go when avalanches overtake the mountains and overcast skies 'blah' out the ocean. Last Saturday turned out to be a perfect day to visit. The wetland grasses are spread out in that lush, new-growth green that only spring brings. Swallowtails were darting around snatching up mosquitos, frogs were singing, and even a hummingbird made an appearance.

I had the pleasure of meeting Lance and his son Colton who is dreaming of being a photographer. He snapped a stunning shot of sunset over the river that is well worth a peek (over at Lance's photostream). If you haven't had the fortune to shoot with Lance, he's a great guy - he'll keep you laughing and he genuinely loves nature with all his heart. You will never look at a simple grassland in the same way again after seeing it through his eyes. :-) I'm really glad he convinced us to wait out the overcast storm because sunset was phenomenal. Hopefully I'll have some time later this week to share that flaming goodness reflected in the river.
