|
| We were there on Valentine's Day. Lots of folks enjoying the beach. |
|
We usually take a walk through the Monarch Butterfly Grove |
|
| This visit we saw very few Monarchs. |
|
| Perhaps due to several eucalyptus trees brought down by recent storms. |
|
| A male Anna's Hummingbird perched high in a juniper tree. |
|
| Subtle coloration of a female Oregon Dark-eyed Junco. |
|
| A male Oregon Dark-eyed Junco perched nearby. |
|
| A pair of Milkcap Mushrooms force their way to the light. |
|
| Gray day. Blue roof marks our timeshare. |
|
| Weak sunlight provides little warmth for this pidgeon. |
|
| Pier piling encrusted with living mollusks. Seagulls treat them as food and peck at them between wave swells. |
|
| Snowy Egret forages along the shoreline. |
|
| It seemed to prance through the shallows. |
|
| Hmmm, "Go Home Valley!" Which valley? |
|
| As we were leaving, noticed this young man with his skateboard. |
|
| He was extremely agile. Leaped atop the wall in a single bound. |
|
| Each time he leaped, he challenged gravity. |
|
| Each time, gravity won. |
|
| I surmised his goal was to flip the board in air, land on it before it hit the ground. |
|
| Young Seagull effortlessly glides over the shore break. |
