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…..

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 –

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.)

LOOK OUT!

She’s a killer –

 

Beagle

 

Her owner said she had only taken 7 fingers that day, and that she was still hungry. Funny, she doesn’t look vicious…
