Quelle privilège nous avons eu hier d'assister à la sortie des petits ducs. Une soirée riche en rencontres et en émotions !
Low autumn flow. Really roars in the spring.
"Sol Duc Falls is by most accounts one of the most photogenic waterfalls in Washington State and by proxy is one of the most sought out waterfalls by photographers - and chances are it ranks favorably nationwide in similar comparisons. Set within the thick temperate rain forest of the Olympic Mountains, the Sol Duc River creates one of the more uniquely shaped waterfalls in the northwest where it splits into as many as four channels - depending on the volume of the river - hurtling 37 feet off the side of a cliff into a narrow canyon, followed by an 11 foot flume-style drop as the river exits the canyon into a broader gorge below. The National Park Service has done an excellent job at constructing rustic viewpoints that provide many varied angles of perspective.
Prior to 1991 the accepted spelling of all features bearing this name was Soleduck (sometimes spelled Solduck as well). The Washington State Board of Geographic Names approved the change to Sol Duc because of its more accurate translation from the Quillayute word, meaning "magic waters", from which it derives. A legend tells of two dragons, Sol Duc and Elwha, who fought to a draw and were sealed in deep caverns. They wept hot tears at their confinement which furnishes the water for Olympic and Sol Duc Hot Springs."

Using a half-second exposure of Sol Duc Falls I captured this rainbow as the sunlight first hit the forest above the falls.
Petite balade dans un parc et à ma grande surprise je vois un Grand-Duc d'Amérique juvénile. Un peu loin pour moi.
J'étais à la pêche journalière dans la réserve Faunique des Laurentides. Sur un minuscule île, je voyais des quiscales qui s'énervaient à la cime d'un arbre, il y avait une tâche grise un peu plus bas. En s'avançant, j'ai aperçu le Grand Duc. Il s'est finalement envolé pour aller sur le bord du lac. Cette photo a été prise lorsque le Grand Duc était sur l'ïle.

Vol libre de rapaces
Les rapaces nocturnes sont facilement identifiables grâce à leur tête arrondie et leurs yeux frontaux.
Ils ont une ouïe 50 fois supérieure à la nôtre et la plupart d'entre eux ne perçoivent que le blanc et le noir

Cet hibou moyen-duc n’en revient toujours pas de l’effronterie de l’écureuil gris qui l’a nargué pendant de longues minutes. Il semble à la fois étonné, scandalisé et contrarié d’avoir perdu la face devant un vulgaire écureuil urbain 😅
I have so wanted to return to this beautiful waterfall, the Sol Duc Falls, since first seeing it in 2018. My wife said I raced up the steps at the end of the trail to the bridge-viewing area. It is my favorite and I was so pleased to return here on this day in September, 2025.
Here is a view of the Sol Duc Falls, landscape-framed. I love this unique waterfall that plunges into a deep gorge making its way through the Sol Duc Valley of Olympic National Park. Water-levels were low this year, but it's still a pretty view.
there is a lot to discuss / related to 'Ducato di Monserrato', but . it is advised to read the 39 volumes first.

Sunlight bled through the rainforest surrounding the Sol Duc Falls and gave it a nice shine on our way back from the waterfall shoot. As a word of advice for Olympic-bound travelers, if you don't want to fight the crowds at the Hoh Rainforest, which is a wonderful place, the rainforest around Sol Duc and Lake Crescent is nothing to sneeze at.
