One Day’s Adventures, Glenwood and Beyond

These images are linked to my best photo galleries, if you click on them you will see these and many more images available for purchasing and sharing on social media with your friends (by using the share buttons under the images) They tell the story of Tuesday, March 11, 2014 up in the high Prairies around Glenwood, Washington.

A day that started with a meeting in Glenwood led to all day of wandering through the mountains and along the Klickitat River, then back home through Glenwood along Conboy Lake National Wildlife Refuge. A day of recharging and serenity and beauty. I wanted to share some of that with you! It started out with misty fog over the flooded fields of Camas Praire near Glenwood.

There was only a sign that said no Hunting… so I wandered down the road. after a bit along came a truck full of ranchers (Kreps Ranch owns much of this area) asking me what I was up to… I showed my pics and explained I had not seen any No Trespassing signs and thought this was part of Conboy Lake National Wildlife Refuge which covers much of the flooded fields. He was sure there was a sign, but I checked again on the way out and there was not. I asked him if I could make it up to him with a picture and he thought that might work just fine 🙂 and gave me his email. I also asked him if it were possible to get official permission to be in here, and he said maybe after March, as they have business this month and don’t want people in there .

For a short time in spring and fall this high altitude praire often floods, looking like a lake for a few weeks. This road disappears under water during that time. Mount Adams shines through the fog across the Kreps Ranch and the Conboy Lake National Wildlife Refuge.

Since I already had my pics and needed to get on to the meeting (I was now quite late, but the light had grabbed me!) I walked on back to my truck and headed down the road.

As the day went on, these are some of the treasures I found.
