A photo story

Deer in Olympic National Park

A deer crossing the trail in Olympic National Park, Washington, in July 2024. It was a clear, warm midday, around 77, with almost no wind. Laura and I were there together, just the two of us.

It was a lot of fun, and it was beautiful. We went right after climbing Mount Rainier, the high point of Washington.

We went to the beach and saw a starfish and jellyfish and other life in the tide pools, and a bald eagle. We also saw elk.

The deer in this photo stepped into the path, and I waited and took the picture. Days like that, with Laura, in a park this full of life, stay with you.
