Young Buck

~backblip~

It had rained most of the night so everything was covered in droplets this morning...AND, the sun was out! Unlike the past couple days where I took NO photos until the evening, today I must have taken 200-300!! Started out with the garden. I got some neat ones of the daisies with little daisies reflected in several droplets. I was pretty proud of those as there are a few folks on here that are masters at that and I have been trying to get some great shots like them. We took Bry to breakfast( a place we really like) and as we were loading up in the car I look across the street and here is this very handsome young buck. There was another young buck with him but his horns were younger. I took quite a few shots of them! They have been hanging around here the past few days. I chose this photo out of all the ones I took today mainly because I just love his sweet face. :)

After breakfast, Glenn and I went to work for a bit. After, we went for a little drive up to Cape Arago. I was hoping for sunset shots but none to be had. I got some great shots of starfish on the rocks! They were so fun to see! I was happy Glenn saw them and pointed them out. Also, got some nice photos of the stormy sky over the ocean, a rainbow, some pelicans and the resting sea lions(there is a place up on Arago where they can usually be seen called Shell Island....

Shell Island Interpretive Stop
Part of the Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge, Shell Island and the surrounding reefs provide breeding
and rest areas for sea birds and Marine mammals. Gray whales, Northern Elephant Seals, Harbor Seals, Sea
Lions, Stellar Sea Lions, Black Oystercatchers, Great Blue Herons and Pelagic Cormorants can all be viewed
here. Because of the abundance of wildlife on Shell Island, there is no public access to the island itself, but
viewing points can be found at Shore Acres, Simpson Park Overlook and viewpoints along Cape Arago

It was a nice day!

Happy Saturday
