I took my time at Mugu Point the last visit, trying hard to get better composed shots as well as a variety of shutter speeds. It had been very cloudy all day and unlike usual, they didn't seem to be going anywhere. As a result, I knew I had plenty of time to get both surface shots and sky shots, especially as it got closer to sundown.
As I've mentioned, I really don't feel comfortable near the edge of any dark water--whether oceans, lakes, ponds etc. This cove was my starting point on both visits to this beach and I navigated in a similar route though the large waves kept me about 10ft further back than the first visit. As a result, some of the great places I set up on last time were regularly under water and I had to find different areas to shoot. There's so many amazing vantages from here and directly behind that it wasn't an issue.
There's something very relaxing about getting to the location you planned to shoot early, moving methodically and slowly to different areas and getting most of the shots off you wanted. When I rush, I make mistakes and this happens most when I arrive late and try to squeeze the last bit out of the sunset. The amount of relaxation for me increases at the ocean (and further when shooting long exposures). It's like being inside of a white noise machine with a nice, steady breeze blowing. Maybe next time I'll bring a beach chair.

A new perspective to view Blea Tarn from, on my descent from Side Pike I went to investigate some strange objects and found this picturesque stump - perfect!
This shy little butterfly among wildflowers on the forest floor. Fortunately, it stayed on this flower just long enough for me to get a shot with the camera nearly on the ground. The photo was taken in the Malheur National Forest in Oregon.

To get a great shot of a snake, you gotta get down low, become part of its perspective. You gotta be willing to mess up your pants. Too many shots of snakes are taken from too high up. I admit it is slightly unnerving to get down nose to nose with a snake but this was a bored, harmless Gopher Snake. We hung out together for ten minutes or so and he barely moved.
A yacht floats beneath the massive wall of a glacier in Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska. There are at least two seals and a bald eagle also in this image (see my comment below).
