William J. Finley National Wildlife Refuge and Around

 

Yesterday I drove out to William J. Finley National Wildlife Refuge to watch the sunset.  The refuge is south of Corvallis a ways and has a great view of Marys Peak.

Out in one of the dry marshes.

 

I followed a little trail through the marsh to see what was out beyond civilization.

 

 

Goodbye sun.  See you tomorrow.

 

A different dry marsh.  This is a really nice refuge with plenty of places to observe all the critters that call it home.

Out on a farm access road between Philomath and Corvallis.  Marys Peak and the fading rays of light in the center.  It was a wonderful night for a photographic expedition.  In the future, I will have to visit the wildlife refuge earlier in the day so that I can hike some of the many trails.
