Antheraea polyphemus
It took a few tries to do a closer view of this A. Polyphemus pupa, when disturbed they wiggle and then the stack is ruined.

This is Mt Shuksan, lesser known neighbor of Mt Baker in northern Washington State. Taken from the shore of Highwood Lake, also lesser known neighbor of Picture Lake. I had a whirlwind trip through the Pacific Northwest, starting with a flight in to Seattle and a long drive up to visit my mother in British Columbia. Following this too short visit, I had a late night flight to SF from Seattle, which gave me just enough time to detour up to Mt Baker. While most of the signs of fall have faded from these higher altitudes, I did find a few last berries and leaves clinging to the shore here.
Despite having been to Seattle and lower BC area many times, I'd never actually been up to Mt Baker, nor even caught a good view of it from the road. As I got closer I was blown away by what a perfectly gorgeous mountain it is. The visit up to Picture Lake was everything I'd been told, and though there was extensive cloud cover and I didn't hold out much hope for any color, we had just a few minutes of nice pink coloring in the sky before the sunset faded. Mt Shuksan is also a beautiful mountain, especially on the northwest facing side with its massive glacier.
A classic scene - down at the beach at Portknockie, well, lying flat-out precariously on a rocky boulder to keep my shadow out of the shot, with the water lapping around, waves coming in breaking in front of me...
For just these two minutes the light and clouds were in just the right places.
Also in shiny colour.
Plucked from a pot by my front door.

Anyone with little kids will probably remember the dinosaur cartoon movie series called "The Land Before Time" (mine watched this pretty obsessively for a time). I've been fascinated by this particular waterfall ever since I first saw photos on flickr about 3 years ago. I find the combination of the basaltic columns on the gorge walls together with the extensive green moss, and the way the light streams through the mist to resemble something right out of prehistoric earth. I finally got an opportunity to visit during a recent trip through Oregon, Washington and BC. It rained excessively for the first few days of the trip but finally cleared up on my last 2 days so I drove from BC down to Oregon to shoot Abiqua (yes, I'm a bit crazy, that was a *long* drive).
I was a bit worried about the condition of the dirt road and steep trail leading to the fall. It's a short but fairly intense hike down to the falls, especially after a hard rain, but it was manageable even if it left my legs screaming after I finished the hike back up to the car.
It was an immensely satisfying visit and I enjoyed it every bit as much as I had imagined I might. The flow over the falls was quite heavy due to the recent rain, and as a result there is a large volume of spray in the air. I had to wipe down my lens nearly every shot and still had more than 2/3 of the shots ruined by water drops. But thankfully a few were clean enough to use. In times of lower flow I might have ventured to take a shot from the other side of the river, or roamed around to get other angles, but the river was definitely not crossable on this day.
I will definitely visit Abiqua again in future, and the appearance changes significantly from season to season so I look forward to taking the shot from some different angles and with new looks. The fall scene is of course enhanced by the presence of beautiful yellow maple leaves strewn just so across the rocks. A seasoned photographer might be rather suspicious of such fortunate leaf placement. I can honestly say that I did not place these, though it is highly probable that another photographer did. As far as I witnessed though, the scene was totally natural!
The moon followed the sun, setting, in twilight; Jupiter and Saturn rose, forming a pleasant triangle of a late autumn night sky.

I was thoroughly amazed to find I'd resolved two moons of Jupiter - Enceladus to the lower right and Callisto at 10o'clock abutting the planetary disk.
Testing out my new cam.
This is shot with the pixel shift feature where it will utilize the IBIS system to take 20 shots (moving the sensor around) with electronic shutter and combine it into a 160 megapixel photo with true colors.
You can see some artifacts in non static area's but I'm happy with the colours and resolution.
