San Francisco’s Seal Rocks rise from the Pacific Ocean surf just off the shore of Lands End as the sun begins to set on the western edge of the city.
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.
A 1st year Juvenile Pacific Gull standing on the end of a Drain Pipe that empties into the water separating Phillip Island from the mainland.
The Pacific gull is a very large gull, native to the coasts of Australia.
Juveniles are mottled dark brown and have a glossy black bill.
Immatures in first-year plumage are still very dark but have a pale face and the base of the bill is pinkish.
Second-year immatures have dark brown wings, a paler rump, and a yellow bill with a black tip.
They’ll grow into a very large gull with a black back, white head, neck and underbody and a huge yellow bill, which has a red tip on both the upper and lower mandible.
Taken in the morning on our Phillip Island day trip.

Seashore in the Taitung County, Taiwan.
I visited around the whole island during my Lunar New Year vacation. I hope to bring you some of my experiences different from my Magic Forest Series though. :-)
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.
From Pacific Grove California, we hope everyone has a fantastic New Year filled with Joy and prosperity

With rain clouds hovering and rains in the far background, it was just a question of time when the Rainbow and the train would pop up around the same time.
Here, a South bound UP Stack train is headed towards San Antonio on Austin Sub, track 1 at New Braunfels, TX.
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.

Union Pacific SD70ACe #8518 displays the larger herald on the nose and also larger US flag next to the engine numbers than what was picked for the final version of their new lettering scheme.
