Can you believe we are less than two months from a new year? With upcoming holidays, we will be ringing in 2027 in no time at all. Feels a little strange to say that but as I was looking at places to visit before the end of the year, I realized we are nearly there with only a few non-holiday weeks left on the calendar. Time to make those lists for gift ideas for the loved ones in your life. The past month flew by; a few weeks ago I shot ice hockey photos and that's becoming a regular weekend and occasionally mid-week adventure. Honestly, it's difficult to go inside a hockey rink when it's nearly 70 degrees outside. The other weird part is that it does not feel like fall is over; it barely feels like it's started due to the lack of color in the trees here in the Midwest. Hopefully your location has more color or did have, depending on your region; either way, get outside and enjoy the nice weather when possible.

 

While I mentioned thinking of places to visit earlier, one suggestion was Olympic National Park in Washington State. It's been a few years since I visited and was amazed during my first trip by the vastly different regions that exist within its boundaries. There are ocean beaches, mountain summits, and rainforests plus a large diversity of wildlife. Our first image is a small marsh near the Hoh Rainforest; the mix of dull colors reminds me of the fall we are currently experiencing. Camera Data: 35mm 1/6 sec F8 ISO100

The second image is a California Gull, found on Rialto Beach along the Pacific Ocean in Olympic National Park. We were hoping for a nice sunset but it was a dreary day, with some fog that subdued any chance of a nice sunset. The gulls were keeping me entertained with their searching for and eating an evening meal. Camera Data: 200mm 1/1600 sec F8 ISO1250

 

Here's a link to download the appropriate version of this month's image for your desktop: one for standard screens and one for wide-screen monitors, along with a Mobile Phone Image. For desktop computers or tablets, open the required version for your device, right-click on the image or right-click on the text for the format you need and select Save As, save to a location on your device and change the background as needed for your OS.

For Mobile devices, most mobile phones require a long press and a menu pop-up will be displayed. Click Save, then follow the steps for your operating system to set it as your background image.

If anyone has problems or questions with their mobile device, let me know and I will try to assist.
