“Plover Posse”

Snowy plovers are pretty much the most amusing shore bird ever.

“Rock, Sea, Sky”

Florence’s South Jetty this morning.

So of course right after saying that I don't take many bird photos, I got another shot that I really like. #dailyphoto #oregon

“The Ectoplasm Hotel”

All rooms with a ghostly view. Shot in Yachats this morning.

Oregon coast featured sunshine and sea anemones this morning. Well, at least until it started raining again.

I don't do a lot of bird photography (they move faster than I do) but I think this shot of a seagull near Yachats today came out fairly well. #dailyphoto #oregon

“Shelter”

Lunch break in the midst of an 8-hour hike in the rain.

I put in 19 miles on the trails at the North Bank Habitat Management Area today. Infinitely preferable to staying home in a house full of football.

In my opinion, a wet day in the woods beats the hell out of a dry house full of super bowl.

“Infrastructure”

There are a bunch of BPA power lines running through the Howard Buford Recreation Area where I do a lot of hiking. Sometimes they’re as visually interesting as the mushrooms and wildflowers.
