King Tides, the term is non-scientific and refers to when the moon, sun and Earth align at their closest points and the gravitational pull on the Earth is the greatest. This happens for three day periods during the months of November, December, and January. We finally had a break in the weather and went in January to shoot these big waves at high tide. This is at Shore Acres down by Coos Bay.
Opening. I will post another shot when it is fully open. It is a very large flower - perfect for drying when it 'Dies'. :)
Done for Crazy Tuesday.
A little bit of wildlife. A king vulture or Sarcoramphus.

"All the wants you waste
All the things you’ve chased
Then it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger
But there’s no one around
Just want one thing
Just to play the king
But the castle’s crumbled
And you’re left with just a name
Where’s your crown, King Nothing?
Where’s your crown?
I wish I may, I wish I might
Have this wish I wish tonight
I want that star, I want it now
I want it all and I don’t care how
Careful what you wish
Careful what you say
Careful what you wish, you may regret it"

One very tough bird to get in the open, but if you wait long enough, it does pop out very briefly.

Shooting, with the new camera , I have decided it needs micro adjusting looking at the results across the board.

King Vulture that is!! When I photograph birds, I usually choose Not to take photos of vultures. But I make exceptions to the colorful King Vulture.

Don't forget...no matter your status, wealth, or power during your lifetime, everyone ultimately shares the same fate.
So, do we call a female King Parrot a Queen? I think we should. This beauty was lurking in the depths of my old computer which I managed to wake this morning from what has been a year long sleep. Had all sorts of dramas with it, but it seemed to wake up fine and I was able to salvage a thousand or so old images from it.
Taken near Apollo Bay in Victoria where they regularly visited the local houses and gardens. So wonderful to get close!

Thank you for your visit and comments. They are very much appreciated.
Day and night versions of Dubrovnik, the night version had to be lower because the Lovrijenac fort where I took the day photo was already closed, and I was standing at the top of the steps in front of the gate to the paid area. It was super windy in both cases. I wonder who will die in tonight's GOT episode.
