[singlepic id=1806] Day 7 was partially taken up with our descent from Lake of the Angels, partially taken up with our loitering at the trail head pondering what to do next and partially taken up driving toward Mt. Rainier. We stopped off at a hotel along the way as it… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1764 w=480 float=right template=caption] [singlepic id=1725 w=480 float=right template=caption] [singlepic id=1732 w=480 float=right template=caption] We actually got up early and left Aberdeen right around 7AM headed for the Mt. Ellinor trail head which we reached around 9:00. I think there were two trail heads for Mt. Elinore and we… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1683 w=480 float=right] Because we stopped short of Olympic National Forest, we had to finish the drive up to Quinault first thing in the morning. The first stop was a the USFS / NPS Recreation Information building where we got a map of the immediate area (not so much… Continue reading
Day 4 entailed a lot of driving, with a few stops along the Oregon coast mixed in. Our first attempt was a lighthouse very near Newport, but the line of cars just to get into the park was extending beyond visible range of the entrance so we took the hint… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1682 w=480 float=left] Last one before I post the entire batch for real, and it’s a picture of dirt. Sand, to be more accurate, which I happened to like the looks of as the tide started to come in. Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL18200 lens @ 53mm, 1/60… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1681 w=480 float=left] The young kid along the shore said this was a jellyfish egg pouch, but I think it’s actually a moon jellyfish. There weren’t a huge number of these washing up, but a few did come in with the tide. This was one of the more ‘whole’… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1680 w=480 float=left] These pink anemones were probably the least common. I’m sure there are some actual species differences here, but I have no idea what they might be. Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL18200 lens @ 200mm, 1/320 sec, f/6.3, ISO 800
[singlepic id=1679 w=480 float=left] Second anemone shot – same color, different anemone. The green ones this size were not the most common, but they were plentiful. Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL18200 lens @ 200mm, 1/320 sec, f/8, ISO 800
[singlepic id=1678 w=480 float=left] One of a plethora of anemone’s we saw in the tidepools, though most were much smaller and less photogenic than this one. Yeah, it’s a photogenic anemone. I must have had a polarizer on for this shot because it’s 4x the ISO as the others and… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1677 w=480 float=left] Shot down into the Devil’s Punchbowl along the Oregon coast. I realized I haven’t posted any pictures from this day yet, so I’ll put a few out there before I post the full writeup. Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL18200 lens @ 18mm, 1/125 sec, f/11,… Continue reading
