Heceta Head Lighthouse sits 206 feet above the Pacific Ocean on the Oregon coast. The light atop the 56-foot tower was first illuminated in 1894. Its automated beacon, seen 21 miles from land, is rated as the strongest light on the Oregon coast. #Oregon #lighthouse #pacific #Heceta

The #Heceta Head #Lighthouse viewpoint is among the best on the coast for spotting whales during seasonal migration, as well as sea lions and many birds. Common murres lay their eggs on the rocks. The surrounding ocean is part of Oregon’s largest marine reserve, the Cape Perpetua Marine Reserve.

It gets colorful and cold when the November sun sets.

Little People in the Big Wood

People walk among the giant trees at Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park in California.

We can talk about photography.

Gloomy November weather is here. Hard freeze Sunday night and then gloomy Tuesday through the end of the month.
November may be my least favorite month.

Winter Weather Arrival
Fall weather in Ohio came to an abrupt halt with a mid-November snow.

Crater Lake
... the deepest lake in the U.S., has a 6-mile diameter. The average annual precipitation (rain and melted snow) at the Crater Lake is approximately 66 inches (168 cm). Rain and snow fill the lake; seepage and evaporation remove water. In late July, snow had not yet completely melted.

Thanks so much.

Yes, sir.
The last shot is my favorite - with that long view and that long leading line.

The photo is an inspiration. Fine work.

Such nice light - on arm , neck, face, too. Well done.

Thank you!

Summer Sunlight
The leafy branches, thick and low,
Catch wind and let the sunlight go
In splintered beams that shift and dance,
A fleeting, fragile, golden trance.

Fall coloured leaves landed and then dotted with last nights rain are now seemingly placed perfectly for this eye feast.

The hues, the scents, the rustling, everything Autumn was offered today. 📷 🍂 …

Crocus ... frail, little pops of autumn colors ... in our garden

Golden-mantled Ground Squirrel
Some people chase butterflies through flower beds; I chased this ground squirrel through a lava field. It finally posed for me. ... at the Newberry National Volcanic Monument in Oregon.

It's just that I've seen the photo elsewhere, and I wondered who actually took the photo.

Your photo?

Thanks. Half the credit goes to Hallie, Backwoods Beauty.

Thanks much

Pale, spent leaf,
dancing on the currents of a woodland stream,
a tiny vessel adrift in a liquid dream
Past mossy stones and dappled, sunlit glades
through shadows where the forest light fades.
