My recent trip to Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge<\/span><\/a> in Oklahoma may not have netted me many bird photos but it did gift me with some foggy scenery images I like.<\/p>\n

\"FoggyFoggy road at Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge in the fall \u2013 Canon R7, handheld, f7.1, 1\/250, ISO 2000, +1.3 EV, Canon EF 100-400mm II at 176mm, natural light<\/span><\/p>\n

The low-lying fog wasn\u2019t too thick or heavy in most places, which allowed me to take some foggy photos of the bits of fall color still clinging to the trees.<\/p>\n

I feel like I could walk right into the photo above, and I think I\u2019d enjoy doing that. The cottonwoods and river birches lining the edge of the road, with their golden-colored leaves, sure caught my attention.<\/p>\n

In another area of the refuge, along the shoreline of the Arkansas River, I stopped to take scenic photos of the forested hills across the water. Fog swirled around the tops of the trees and hills. I simply couldn’t resist taking a few photos.<\/p>\n

Plus, there\u2019s at least one bird in the image above, a Double-crested Cormorant that flew into the frame. The cormorant is hard to spot at web-sized resolution, but I promise you, it\u2019s there.<\/p>\n

\"ArkansasArkansas River at Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge, with trees displaying fall colors and hills shrouded in morning fog \u2013 Canon R7, handheld, f8, 1\/4000, ISO 2000, +1.0 EV, Canon EF 100-400mm II at 104mm, natural light<\/span><\/p>\n

This last image shows the Arkansas River in front of the trees on the riverbank, along with the bottomland hardwood forest and hills shrouded in morning fog. A bit of blue sky was beginning to peek through the fog when I took this photo. It became much sunnier at the refuge not long after these last two images were taken.<\/p>\n

I enjoy sharing the gorgeous scenery of the places where I spend time in the field so you all can get a feel for the fabulous locations I\u2019m lucky enough to see, explore, and photograph.<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
