Do you have anything of the Nisqually Tribe?

Photograph shows George Leschi, a Nisqually man, wearing a feather headdress and holding a bow and arrows. Leschi was the nephew of Chief Leschi (1808-1858) and the son of Quiemuth.

c. 1896

Plein Air #5. Nisqually Wildlife Refuge. Gouache. October 22, 2024.

This fall day is too beautiful to do office work.

Did some touch-ups at home.

One up: this was just a lovely painting experience.

One improve: need more color diversity, gotta remember that gouache changes when it dries and things dull down.

Painted this one off a very busy trail. Met another beginner plein air painter interested in the set up, and did a happiness chant with a pair of Buddhists. An art fan came by and really want to buy it, so I sold it to him for a batch of homemade chocolate chip cookies.

(Those were delicious cookies BTW).

Not bad.

Frog on a log in a bog.

The bull frog, while invasive to the Nisqually delta, is still a delight to behold. Frogs, unlike birds, will hold nice and still for the camera. I watched him for nigh on an hour, and I cherished every minute of it. Except for when I had to steal away into the bush for a piss. Or was that before I spotted him? I think it was.

Mommy Hummingbird feeding the chicks. by glowworm6a Via Flickr: Rufous Hummingbird chick in nest. Talk about Macrophotography with a 600mm lens. This nest was about 10ft off the boardwalk, I almost missed it. If you never have seen a Hummingbird nest before they are tiny about the size of a children’s toy teacup or a golf ball. The light was really bad here 1/1000th second, f8 ISO1000, but still you can see two chicks. These chicks were very active. I bird photography they tell you to focus on the eyes, but these chicks the eyes are still closed. There skin is almost translucent. There was a breeze so the branch kept moving. I took over 1000 shots and about ¾ of the shots were with the nest either below or above the lens view. Really frustrating.
