A Frigate mama tending to her fuzzy chick. This chick was lucky….
His daddy knew how to build a nest. Some of the other nest we saw barely had crossing branches.
Wildlife Wednesday-Galapagos
Washington Beaches
I believed this was at RIALTO beach (I get Rialto and Ruby beaches confused). Someday I’ll get a better note system.
SolDuc Falls
This is a BEAUTIFUL spot to hike with several loops of different lengths. Most with good boardwalks or paths. It a little over an hours drive from Sequim. If you stay at the lodge there you can g in the thermal pools. I’ve never been but it looked mighty inviting after our hikes.
Don’t paddle away too fast lil Puffin!
Puffins are the coolest! This was shot near Protection Island off Sequim. There used to be hundreds of breeding pairs but t his last year only a handful were seen. They quit coming here because of the predation of local Eagles.
Beach #2 at Kalaloch
Washington beaches get huge amounts of logs on them, especially after storms or high tides. You must be very careful to NEVER be near a log that is near the surf. The surf tosses and rolls thousand pound logs like little tinker toys, and people routinely get pinned or crushed by them.
Faraway (not-so) Friday. Oregon Coast
This was shot near Otter Rock. Next to this I shot hundreds of photos of Pelicans. But the hole in the wall finally pulled me away. I couldn’t get cany closer because the rocks were SOOOO SLIPPERY with that green algae you can see in the photo. After several falls I reminded myself I’m in my 60s and don’t recover as fast!
Happy Thanksgiving-So grateful for all of YOU!
Boulton farms is just north of Quilcene on Hwy 101.
This whole area is filled with homesteaded farms. Last week it looked gorgeous with all the fall colors, so I just had to stop and take a picture.
