POTD: The Watcher
I don’t know what this crow was watching for so intently out amidst the tide-pools, maybe one of those sneaker waves they tell you to look out for on the coast.]]>
POTD: The Crooners
I called this photo the crooners just to be ironic, as California Sea Lions are anything but crooners in the Frank Sinatra sense. But then I saw one definition online that said in Scottish it means “to roar or bellow.” That would make these Scottish crooners I suppose.]]>

POTD: Big Crash
One thing about being at the ocean, you can walk on a beach right next to a highway and think you are in the middle of nowhere, soundwise anyway, as the noise of the ocean drowns out anything else. At Seal Rocks this morning we didn’t even hear the sound of the car crash that closed Highway 101 for four hours. I guess some sounds do penetrate, as we did comment on all the sirens we heard.]]>
POTD: (End of the) Road Trip
We’re on our first road trip since my adventures in medical land last fall. It feels great to be out and about. I’ve actually felt good enough to travel for some time, but I had to wait for a break in my part-time job as a medical patient. (In fact I’ve been laid off of that job for the foreseeable future.)
I probably should have said it was the end of the first half of the road trip, since we still plan on going back home in a few days. Anyway, it ended where all American road trips have to end in the western direction, at the Pacific Ocean. This was taken just outside our hotel room in Yachats.]]>

POTD: Bark
I thought the regular pattern of the bark on this tree (an ash tree I think, but that’s a very wild guess) was quite unusual and interesting. I suppose the photo is also of significance in that it was the last photo I took in 2012. Or at least it is the last subject I photographed in 2012–I took several photos of the bark, not sure whether this was the last of those or not.]]>
POTD: A Little Ice is Nice
It seemed like this was a good choice for today’s post given the subzero temps we had here yesterday.]]>
