My recent trip to Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge in Oklahoma may not have netted me many bird photos but it did gift me with some foggy scenery images I like.

The low-lying fog wasn’t 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.

I feel like I could walk right into the photo above—and I think I’d enjoy doing that. The cottonwoods and river birches lining the edge of the road, with their golden-colored leaves, sure caught my attention.

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.

Plus, there’s 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’s there.

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.

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’m lucky enough to see, explore, and photograph.

Life is good.
