Humbug again

I climbed out of the fog up Humbug's 1761 feet.

Four horizontal shots merged for this one vertical.








Sun sets on September.

Humbug Mountain summit (finally)

The view south from Port Orford. Again. It's hard to resist that huge "OCEAN VIEW" lettering painted in the road. From here, Humbug beckoned.

Moon sets at Port Orford. 11:46 am. First haircut in about 9 months.

Humbug trailhead.


I chose west for ascent, east for down.

Port Orford from Humbug.



These tell you more about the peak than your eyes. It's a great hike, but definitely for the 'doing it' not a great view.

Am I interrupting some kind of grasshopper shenanigans? Alternate.


Huge madrone.


Almost done. Highly recommended hike.

Tomato harvest

The mighty Rogue. It was a little nippy.

This one caught a dragon fly, that's all.

A day of strange clouds.

Monday walk. Alternate.



A pebble dropped into Greggs Creek.

Keepin' on

Friday night.




Saturday, Port Orford. This interesting effect comes from holding my Sony's 1.7 tele adapter to the Nikon's lens.

Frankport.

These are interesting 'imposter' bees. They are flies, but they forage in flowers and have honey bee coloring.

Slightly different variety with perpendicular stripes behind the eyes.

I was checking out this interesting striped variety (above) and a honey bee chose the same herself, shoving the fly aside. They don't do this to other bees.

Wednesday Waves

Tuesday night.



Wednesday.

I was so taken by the wave above. It crashed quite different than the others had been. The moment the approaching set began to break, it merged with the previous receding set. I stood there in a daze. Did I catch it? Constructive interference concept of wave theory demonstrated itself and the big wave raced fast up the beach. It caught me, exacting a toll for this shot: wet pantlegs.



Square (3 sideways shots merged)





They don't really like the window opened, but the bees look busy in there.
