It’s fall for sure now

Sun is going away sooner, it’s a bit cooler in the evening, and the flowers are giving up –

 

Chaff

 

I for one, am ready for a change of season.

Just because I don’t know their name

Doesn’t mean I don’t like them –

 

Flowers I dont know the name of

 

Happy little guys, huh? Even though fall is coming, they’re still sunny-side up.

Autumnal equinox?

Translation = Rainy season here in the upper left corner. Flowers love it –

 

Droplets

 

 

Beauty, huh? At least until the slugs get to it……

They’re out there

Still pedaling to work, so the photos will have to be local. Spotted these guys in the garden munching on the plant life –

 

Slugger

 

Snail

 

In some cultures, they’re considered a delicacy. In my neck of the woods urban sprawl, they’re considered disgusting. Certainly by the green thumb around here anyway. The insecticides will be flying in no time…..

Nothing to see here, move along

At least lately. Been riding the bicycle to work the last couple weeks, which precludes carrying the camera, which precludes taking any photos. So yeah, nothing to see here lately, sorry about that. Have a sea-pidgeon til I get back at it –

 

Sea pidgeon

 

Maybe tomorrow I’ll drive, it’s supposed to rain…..

Perseverance

Our friend the Great Blue Heron teaching us all about it –

Never mind that it was 7am, the water was 50 degrees and some idiot with a camera and a cup of coffee was watching from his hotel balcony; that bird did not give up. Then again, it’s not like he’s gonna head down to the local market to buy something for breakfast. He’d more likely head for Denny’s for some Moons Over My Hammy. But where’s he gonna keep his wallet so he can tip appropriately? Such cruel circumstance.

I digress. Nice work Mr. Heron, I for one, was very impressed. Next time I’m in Port Townsend, I’ll keep an eye out for you.

Pacific Northwest

It doesn’t get any more Northwest in the 48 contiguous states; Cape Flattery –

 

Cape Flattery

 

 

Nice spot. The lighthouse is on Tatoosh Island, a half mile out. Was gonna swim out for a closer look, but the motorcycle riding gear is a bit bulky. Big lens to the rescue –

The hike out is among some crazy trees –

 

Another Crazy Tree

 

 

Perfect day for it weather wise, warm sun, blue skies –

 

Perfect day

 

More from our rooting around the Olympic Peninsula on motorcycles tomorrow. (That was a pretty crappy sentence. Wasn’t it? Good thing I blew off most of any sort of educational opportunities I had. It’s paying off now.)
