How Pebbles Are Made #2 Yachats, Oregon 2013

As with the photo the other day, but in a different manner, these large boulders are destined to be small pebbles one day also I suppose.

Cats Walking Quietly Heceta Head, Oregon 2014

Today’s observation on poetry: Carl Sandburg is to fog as Robert Frost is to snow.

Tide Pool Yachats, Oregon 2013

I like this photo even though I couldn’t come up with a creative title for it. Sometimes I guess a tide pool is just a tide pool.  ]]>

A Change of Heart Yachats, Oregon 2013

Re-evaluating the direction his life was heading, Bob had a change of heart; but by then the damage had been done. (Look closely and you will see that “Bob” is the next-door-neighbor of the tree in yesterday’s photo.)]]>

Losing Your Grip Yachats, Oregon 2013

I took a photograph of this same tree several years ago (see Drifting #2 here). I remembered having photographed it but did so again, partly just to see if my view or treatment of it had changed since the last time. Not a lot of difference between the two, but I have to say I like the older one better. What do you think?]]>

Audio Signature Hobbit Beach, Oregon 2013

A quite peculiar sand pattern on the beach, almost like an audio recording of the waves sweeping back and forth across the sand.]]>

How Pebbles Are Made Yachats, Oregon 2013

A solid hunk of rock slowly becoming a beach of pebbles.

Hobbit Beach #3 Hobbit Beach, Oregon 2013

A companion piece to the one from yesterday, I guess you could call yesterday’s the big island photo and this is the small island photo–at least the rocks in each photo are islands at certain tide levels. I’m not sure which of the two photos I like best; yesterday’s has the most interesting compositional arrangement but I really like the minimalist red “statement” this one makes.]]>

Hobbit Beach #2 Hobbit Beach, Oregon 2013

Yesterday I referred to the rainy weather at Hobbit Beach as being pleasant. To a large degree that was because I was wearing a warm jacket topped by a raincoat, along with a fleece hat, gloves, and waterproof boots. Had I been dressed like these two, barefoot in t-shirts and shorts, I might have had a different opinion of the weather. It was after all, quite wet and not quite 50 degrees. They seemed to be having a great time though; I guess I’m just getting old.]]>

Hobbit Beach #1 Hobbit Beach, Oregon 2013

A dark and rainy day on the Oregon Coast earlier this week. Probably only someone from an arid climate like we have in southwest Montana can call such a day a pleasant experience. That fact that it’s turned quite cold since we’ve been back (ten below zero here right now) makes a wet day on the beach seem even more appealing.
