Dramatic

Some sort of plant I found growing in the boulders along the shoreline on the 804 Trail.

Frost

Crazy cold for the coast--so what do I do? Hang out on the front porch in my jammies snapping photos of frost... =)

Promenade, Late Afternoon

A very cold & crisp walk along the oceanfront.

Old wood...

Flat rocks at low tide

Ghost Shore Pine forest

Salal catching a ray

Water & sky & light

Sea thrift around the curve of an odd building

Shore Pine catching the late afternoon sun in front of the house

804 Trail

A short walk through the shore pine forest, and I'm at the beach. The sea was calm this morning so not much dramatic to shoot--I focussed more on the rising sun's light and the dew.

Beautiful forest light

Glittery dew on the holly leaves

Sunlight and thistles

Wild roses

Shapes of periwinkle & sage

All shot with my 70-300mm lens. So good to have a camera back. It's been a while!

Sea Creepers

A fascinating day at the Hatfield Marine Science Center:

A sun star's reflection off the underside of the water's surface

A sleepy octopus

A sun star creeping up the side of the tank

Various anemones

5-armed sea star trying to creep its way onto the sleeping octopus
