Photographer and naturalist Wendy Feltham from Port Townsend helps us better understand the geese that we so often take for granted.
Thank you, Penelope and Elizabeth. Yes, Elizabeth, the kelp was posing for me!
Wow! These photos are gorgeous, and surreal! The kelp on the old piling looks like it’s in a studio, having a photo shoot. 😄
Beautiful! Thank you.
Thanks so much, Linda! The kelp was from Indian Island, and the three seaweeds are all from North Beach to Point Wilson. The purple-red Prionitis sternbergii is close to North Beach. More photos are coming soon 🙂
Wendy, where did you see these gorgeous red and purple kelp? Was it near the PTMSC?
