On Saturday 11 folks came out for our hike at the Mary E. Theler Wetlands Nature Preserve in Belfair. It ended up being more of a stroll, but we still covered over 3 miles of trails. The thick fog made the wetlands feel mysterious and secluded. Even though the tide was out that morning, we still managed to see quite a few fowl including a bald eagle. It was a very interesting & educational place. Thanks to Brenda who took several of these photos.
