Great Blue Heron Hunting-Skagit Valley, Conway, WA
by Skynnard on February 21, 2011 in Blog, Image Galleries with No CommentsWhile spending an afternoon in the Skagit Valley, I was in the right place at the right time to observe this Great Blue Heron while he was hunting.
This one was so intent on catching his prey that he didn’t seem to know there were several of us documenting the event with our cameras.

by Skynnard on January 14, 2011 in Blog, Image Galleries with No CommentsSeal Rock, Oregon has become one of my favorite spots along the Central Oregon Coast. The rock stack form interesting patterns on both sides of the basalt bluff and are home to a number of Harbor Seals. Seal Rock beach also offers very interesting tide pooling at low tide.
The largest rock is called “Elephant Rock” and creates some dramatic backgrounds for photography.
Can you spot the seals in this image?

Heceta Head Lighthouse-Central Oregon Coast

What is it about Lighthouses that people find so romantic? Visions of crashing ships? the sound of a fog horn? All of these come to mind when I see one. This image was taken at dusk and you can just see the light.
This particular lighthouse is at Heceta Head (pronounced “He See Tah”). It sits high above the Pacific Ocean in one of the most picturesque areas, north of Florence, Oregon along the Central Oregon Coast.
Built in 1894 this automated working lighthouse is in the National Registry of Historic places, it is said to be the most photograph lighthouse in the United States.
