Last Sunday, we explored Mima Mounds Nature Preserve, which is southwest of Olympia.  The sky was overcast but dry.  There was a nice breeze.  We saw thousands of Camas and Western Buttercups; much of the time, they were in a gentle motion. Of course, photographers are patient, so we were able to find plenty of options for capturing them. After a couple of hours at the Mounds and a picnic lunch, we headed to Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge.  We saw some turtles, Cinnamon Teal, nutria, beaver, and a few other ducks.
