Anyway, what brought that to mind was a flock of Crows that came to beg food when we stopped at the seawall in the town of Depoe Bay. They wouldn't eat out of my hand, but they were really friendly and came within a foot or so to pick up pieces of the molasses cookies I was giving them. One stood still for a portrait:
There was an amazing one that was part albino, with white feathers on its wings and tail. I didn't get a clear shot of it though, because I gave it a big chunk of a cookie and he took it elsewhere to dine.
Just on the rocks below the seawall there were these Black Oystercatchers, which were close enough for E to see. She was screeching she was so excited, they were Life Listers...
I have to figure out why the yellow legs washed out. I've done something adjusting the camera and today most light stuff lit by sunlight washed out.
Here are some very cool waves I caught today while trying to get a photo of the Sea Lions we saw:
Here is the best photo of a Sea Lion I managed:
We spotted this spout thing while going around a corner. As the waves came in the water was forced through holes in the rocks creating a geyser effect:
A rock, in the same cove where we saw the Sea Lions, covered with Seagulls and Pelicans:
A view north, the Sea Lion cove is the one where the lighthouse is:
Another lighthouse:
This one section of the highway had streets named after states... I was reading them to see how many they had. I read "Idaho St", "Colorado St", "Washingon St", "Oregon St", "California St"... etc... then amongst them I saw a funny street sign that caused me to turn around to get a photo of it, nearly killing us both in the process (but not too nearly):
A practically cloudless day today, so the sunset was a little plain, but here it is from two places:
After the sun was down (note the far away ship on the horizon):
A beautful day! :-)
