Crescent City Sunset


STA_5452-STI_5460

 

Sunset in Crescent City on a nice day is outstanding!  The rock just to the left of the sun with the tree on it also holds the harbor lighthouse.

An interesting rock formation on the beach.

Heather conquered the rock!

An interesting test of my camera’s slow motion abilities.

Danger is the French word for fun!  Note: don’t stand here during a tsunami.

This is a beach further up the coast from the lighthouse.

There it goes!  No green flash on this night.

At the harbor.  This area was hit pretty hard by the 2011 Japanese tsunami.  Note all of the sea lions laying at the end of the jetty.

Sea lions and seals on a floating dock and in the water.

The local Del Norte Triplicate had a front page story about bigfoot.

The last fading glow of light over the inner harbor.

 

Valentine’s Day Marsh Walk

On Valentine’s Day Heather and I took a walk through the marsh near her apartments.  The sunset was beautiful over Marys Peak.

Lots of ducks feeding in the shallow water.

An egret hunting in the shallows.  This is the first year that I have seen egrets in the Willamette Valley although I understand that they have been in the area for the last few years.  Perhaps with climate change we will see more of these white birds in Oregon.

Dusk Hike with Christy

Christy and I went out hiking a few days ago just after sunset in the McDonald-Dunn Forest.  We launched from the Oak Creek Research Station.

 

 

 

There were wild daisies everywhere.
