Sunset along the legendary pacific highway one...use the 10X ND filter to slow down the ocean waves and create a softer mood in the sky and water.
Met this guy in the woods yesterday... no bears encounter yet but lots of Pacific Wren... some vocal too.
My husband shot this patient—or scared-witless—Pacific tree frog using his Nikkor 200mm macro lens and his old Nikon D4.
Same position but different angle than mine—in first comment.
There's room in the world for many different styles and apertures, and Howard and I are at either end of the spectrum. He's an IT Doc and physics guy, and has little close-sighted vision. We make a perfect pair, united in admiration of this tiny frog. Howard took this at 13:58. I took mine at 11:40. Both in shade of back deck.
The grandeur of the Pacific is hard to wrap one's mind around. The color pallet of the water, the mountains that seemingly fall into its depths, and the sunsets that repeat themselves enrobed in their glorious golden light. It is a place that is hard to describe in words. It is a place where there is so much beauty to take in that it is overwhelming. It is a place that is hand crafted. It is a place where the imagination and creativity of God ran wild, yet it is perfectly organized. Not one thing is out of place. It is a place that will leave you constantly wanting to come back and never wanting to leave. It is a place with such grandeur that my words will always fall short to describe it, but it will always be a testimony to His glory, power, and perfectly unlimited creativity!
Some photos from my time photographing wildlife in Vancouver Island last November. One of my favourite shots from that trip were of Pacific Wrens like this one. Very curious little birds.

Thank you very much for your kind comments, favorites and looking and please stay safe !
A view down the Lost Coast south of Ferndale, California. This area was named the "Lost Coast" after the area experienced depopulation in the 1930s. In addition, the steepness and related geo-technical challenges of the coastal mountains made this stretch of coastline too costly for state highway or county road builders to establish routes through the area, leaving it the most undeveloped and remote portion of the California coast.
Hope you have a great weekend. Thank you all for your visits, comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all.

Australia’s largest gull, the Pacific Gull (Larus pacificus) occurs only along the coasts of southern Australia. Despite its name, they are seldom seen on the Pacific coastline, and are more common on beaches bordering the Southern and Indian Oceans.
The Pacific Gull is a very large black-backed gull with a massive yellow bill, broadly tipped with scarlet on both the upper and lower mandible. Juvenile Pacific Gulls are mottled dark brown with a pale face. I took this shot in 2012 at Swansea in Tasmania.
The Pacific Brown Pelican differs a bit in color from the mature brown pelicans on the Atlantic coast. The PBP's pouch is multi-colored--green with red instead of a singular brown. The eye of the PBP is a pale blue vs. brown. The PBP's silvery streaking on the feathering is also visible on this bird.
Photographed on rock island near La Paz.
A spring line-up wouldn't be complete without a photo of our province's floral emblem.
Shot notes: used built-in flash to balance the light; handy tip for those times you need a little pop of light in front. For this image I increased the flash exposure comp by +1/3 of a stop.

Hawaii's coastline is pounded regularly by high swells and because of it's location in the pacific is hit by rain showers on a daily basis, saying it is a very wet during this outing would be an understatement. While visiting the island it experienced some of the highest surf ever recorded. Despite the closed beaches and flooded roads I was able to get over to the north shore on the island of Oahu to grab some photos of big surf surfers. Of course just my luck the authorities weren't allowing anybody in the water for practice no matter how famous they were. In order to get any sense of scale in a wave photograph it helps to shoot across the wave but I couldn't find an open spot to shoot from. OK, time to start thinking outside of the box, or window as it turned out. I scoured the area and found that the authorities where only closing public beaches so it was time to hit the spots in-between. I found an open (flooded) turnout and made my way down to the shore. I happened to see this willow swaying in the wind right off of the beach so I made a photo. I think what caught my eye here was the shape of the framing that looked like a curling wave crashing down on the beach. unfortunately there was a exorbitant amount of material floating on the water as a result of the reef that was being ripped apart by the relentless surf, but i really liked the shape of the rocks in the foreground so I waited around awhile hoping for a ripper of a wave to pass through the window but again the conditions weren't cooperating. Oh well, time to go back to Hawaii. Hope you like it. :)
Thanks for taking the time to take a look at my photos, and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!!
Have a great day my friends!! :)
