I accidentally let my camera in slow motion video mode. It defeated my attempt to capture barn swallows chirping, but worked well for this vole.
Took this picture last Saturday following a hike on Arcadia beach to Hug Point Falls. Got soaked up to my knees in the ocean trying to get around the head to the waterfalls.
Point Montara Lighthouse was established in February 1875. It originally had a kerosene lantern, but was upgraded in 1912 to a fourth order Fresnel lens. The current tower was first erected in 1881 in Wellfleet, Massachusetts as the Mayo Beach Lighthouse. In 1925, the cast iron tower from the discontinued Mayo Beach Light was disassembled and moved to Yerba Buena. It was moved and rebuilt as the Point Montara Light station in 1928, where it stands today[1]. The lens was transferred to the San Mateo Historical Society when the lighthouse was automated in 1970, and is currently on display at the library at the College of Notre Dame in Belmont, California. The lighthouse is open to the public, and is the site of a hostel.
Point Cabrillo Lighthouse in Mendocino County, California. Illuminated in 1909, automated in 1973.
Posted to the National Register of Historic Places in 1991 (NRHP Structure #91001092).
Pigeon Point Lighthouse. It was a beautiful day after a long rainy weekend and I waited for 1.5 hours on same spot for sunset and finally it paid with a beautiful sunset ( I used FLW filter )
One of the hardest climbs in the Gorge and also one of the most beautiful, in my opinion. Nesmith Point spur trail climbs to nearly 4,000 feet and is quite the workout. Especially with lots of camera gear:) I need carbon tripod legs!!!!

Point Arena Lighthouse stands tall and proud on the Northern California Coast.
At 115 feet tall, it's the tallest lighthouse on the American West Coast ( tied for that distinction with Pigeon Point Lighthouse )
It was built by a company which specialized in smokestack construction, which is why it kind of looks like one.
This lighthouse has been undergoing major restoration in recent years. It looks better now than ever.
I used a kite ( G-Kites Dopero ) to fly the camera.
