Samantha OhlsenPeople often ask me why I love visiting the Great Ocean Road in winter.

Andrew Flenniken PhotographyI spent Memorial Day weekend camping at the beach with a couple of friends, on Washington state’s Olympic Peninsula. We were fortunate to have had fantastic weather the first two days (never a guarantee here this time of year), and I had a great time shooting while we explored the area.(Cross-posted from my site, where there are additional photos: <a href="https://andrewflenniken.com/2025/05/27/may-27th-2025-poseidons-door/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://andrewflenniken.com/2025/05/27/may-27th-2025-poseidons-door/</a>)We went up to Kalaloch Beach to see the Tree of Life, and also hit Ruby Beach at sunset. The air at Ruby Beach was filled with mist from the crashing waves, lit golden by the sun. One of the sea stacks had a hole in it, through with the sunlight was positively streaming, and the shot I got of it is now up in my store as Poseidon’s Door.I also turned my lens on smaller things I found lying in the sand, and got a long exposure night shot to round things out.I hope your Memorial Day weekend was equally pleasant!Gear: Nikon Z 7II, Nikon Z 24-70mm f2.8 S<a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Photography</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/SeaStack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SeaStack</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Sunrays" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sunrays</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OlympicPeninsula" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OlympicPeninsula</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/RubyBeach" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RubyBeach</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Nikon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nikon</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/NikonCreators" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NikonCreators</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/NikonZ7II" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NikonZ7II</a>

Andrew Flenniken PhotographyBack in April I had the pleasure of shooting the most recent performance by No Refunds Productions: King Beard.The show was a hoot, as they always are, and I've pulled a selection of photos together for my portfolio, which you can see here.<a href="https://andrewflenniken.com/pt-portfolio/king-beard/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://andrewflenniken.com/pt-portfolio/king-beard/</a>If you have a performance coming up in the Seattle area (or elsewhere, if you have the budget for travel expenses), I'd be happy to shoot for you!

Andrew Flenniken PhotographyToday is World Bee Day, designated by the UN "to raise awareness of the importance of pollinators, the threats they face and their contribution to sustainable development".I went back through my archives looking for a bee photo that I hadn't posted before (I post most of the ones I like, because bees are pretty great) and came across this one from last year.

Andrew Flenniken PhotographyMore photos from my visit to the Billy Frank Jr. Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge last week.  When I went down I was primarily looking for migratory shorebirds, like the Caspian Tern from the prior post, but there were plenty of others.(Cross-posted from my site, where you can see the other photos: <a href="https://andrewflenniken.com/2025/05/16/may-16th-2025-birds-of-the-nisqually-delta/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://andrewflenniken.com/2025/05/16/may-16th-2025-birds-of-the-nisqually-delta/</a>)I typically get down to the Refuge once or twice a year, but this was the first time I'd arrived at low tide and stayed long enough for the tide to come all the way in.  It's fascinating watching the little pools in the mud flat grow and connect until, before you realize it, it's no longer a mud flat, it's a little bay.Gear: Nikon Z 7II, Sigma 150-600mm f5-6.3 + 1.4 Teleconverter<a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Photography</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Birds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Birds</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/BillyFrankJrNisquallyNationalWildlifeRefuge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BillyFrankJrNisquallyNationalWildlifeRefuge</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Nikon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nikon</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/NikonCreators" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NikonCreators</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/NikonZ7II" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NikonZ7II</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/SigmaLens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SigmaLens</a>

Andrew Flenniken PhotographyMonday saw me getting out of the house to head over to the Union Bay Natural Area at the University of Washington campus.(Cross-posted from my site, where there are additional photos: <a href="https://andrewflenniken.com/2025/05/07/may-7th-2025-bird-union/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://andrewflenniken.com/2025/05/07/may-7th-2025-bird-union/</a>)We're at the height of migration season now, and the Natural Area is a good place to do some birding.  So I spent a pleasant couple of hours wandering around with the camera, soaking up some much appreciated sun, capturing what I could of the birds I saw.  And not just birds!  Plenty of rabbits and turtles were doing their thing and stayed still long enough to get their photo taken.  The geese and ducks have young now too, in their adorable fluffy phase.In all, I saw:Wood Ducks Anna's Hummingbirds Canada Geese Song Sparrows Osprey Red-winged Blackbirds Mallards Dark-eyed Junco and, of course, Crows (or possibly Ravens)I'm particularly happy with the shot I got of the hummingbird, freezing its wings in mid flight.  :)Gear: Nikon Z 7II, Sigma 150-600mm f5-6.3 + 1.4 Teleconverter<a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Photography</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/UnionBayNaturalArea" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UnionBayNaturalArea</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Birds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Birds</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Birding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Birding</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Nikon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nikon</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/NikonCreators" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NikonCreators</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/NikonZ7II" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NikonZ7II</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/SigmaLens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SigmaLens</a>
