Pre-Mother's Day jaunt - all within 30 miles of our house. Nikon D3400. It was a beautiful day but a little hazy which made photography challenging. 70-300 mm zoom set at 82 mm. ISO 100, f/10.0, 1/640 sec. I tried to do some post-processing to make the Olympic Mountains pop but the sun and haze was beyond anything I could handle.
