Here is my entry for The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge with the topic of Off Season. Have a terrific weekend everyone.
It is mid June in the northern Hemisphere and snow is definitely off season for anyone under 10,000 feet in altitude. We are around 300 feet here in Oregon where I live. Photo taken out my home office window.
End of season hydrangea. This was a bright blue during the prime season for blooming.
The next two photos are off season for beauty photos.
A bison and baby. Photo taken at Northwest Trek in Tacoma, Washington.
Elk molting at Rosse Posse Elk Farm in Molalla, Oregon.

I believe I used my 300mm for that shot. Plus he was actually pretty close … all things considered. Thanks for your comment.

Wow! You outdid yourself this week. That picture of the elk molting is amazing. It looks like a painting. I’d love to hear you explain what your editing process was. Still learning here! The buffalo shot also wonderful. Judy

That one has been edited so many times. I should just start over with the original. There were a lot of shadows on him, so I had to brighten up the shadows and bring the color back. 😀

I love the photo of the bison. The look on mother bison’s face is so human-like that for a second, I forget I’m looking at an animal.

I really like the last two pictures. Usually we like to see nature in pristine condition, but the elk just captures what beauty in nature can look like.

The hydrangea photo definitely feels off season because mine have just turned that brilliant bright blue they have at the beginning of their blooming season. I love the animal photos! And the snow…I sure hope we get a little snow this year. 🙂

Nice shots. Not sure yet what to do with this. I’m never sure what is on or off season … and where. Here, I know ON season is autumn. Is winter off? What about our so-called spring? And summer? Is that on? Off? And who says which is which?
