Turnbull Game Preserve wetlands
Posted by Slackwater - don (spokane, United States) on 4 April 2009 in Landscape & Rural.
A scanned medium format negative of the wetlands on the Turnbull Game Preserve near Cheney, Washington. The Turnbull National Wildlife refuge, 17,000 acres in size (68 square kilometers), is 25 miles (40 kilometers) south of my home town. 'It is used by 16 species of ducks, sixty-three species of migratory birds, including house wrens and yellow warblers. In addition, elk, coyotes, white-tailed deer, Columbian ground squirrels, badgers and porcupines can be found in the refuge's forests, meadows and wetlands'.

Lovely composition...I like the 'silver' in these tones. The beauty of film comes through in this frame.

The line of trees almost looks like a semi-circle similar to the water line – well seen, and then of course there is your terrific b&w and all the textures you bring out. I look at this land and imagine how careful you had to be – where to step so that you would not end up in the water. The hazards of nature photography are many as I am discovering.
