Big Rock

Big Rock

One of the things I like about living in the Pacific Northwest are glacial erratics. These can sometimes be large boulders that seem to be spread around at random … which is exactly the case. During the last ice age the glaciers carried these big rocks (or little ones) sometimes for hundreds of miles … and then dropped them where they were when the ice melted. Sometimes they can be traced to their point of origin by the type of rock or chemical compostion. The fact that there were this big rocks spread around was one of the reasons I ended up with a degree in Geology.

Just For Fun

Filtered Flowers 1

I don’t usually use filters with my iPhone shots. There are so many of them and they seem gimmicky to me. But I was playing around with them, seeing how they worked and so on. I thought these were nice enough. Don’t think I’ll keep using them, but I thought I would share.

Brinnon Elk Herd

Brinnon Elk Herd 1

These are all photos of the Brinnon Elk Herd … AKA the Dosewallips Elk Herd. In the winter the elk come down to the lowlands, including along the beach areas near Brinnon, WA … a small (very small) community along Hood Canal on Highway 101. They are used to people, mostly. The exception are the bull elk … they tend to stay away from people and are harder to spot. In a couple of the images, you can see some yearly male elk. They will leave after the first year. (and no, they don’t actually use the soccer nets for playing elk ball)

A Purple Road

Purple Road

Well, it isn’t UW Husky purple … but it comes sorta close if you squint hard enough.

This is a road in Fort Worden State Park in Port Townsend WA. Covered with Doug fir needles and a few W Hemlock and W Red Cedar’s mixed in. This is the road that I walk regularly for my exercise program. It’s only used for service vehicles, so no danger of getting run over (except by a speedy occasional bicycle enthusiast).
