after the storm
*More photos from my October trip to California and Oregon.
There are just a few of the photos which I took on the morning after a day of stormwatching near Crescent City, California back in October. My friend and I spent much of that day wandering on several beaches, studying and photographing objects that had been tossed ashore by the wild waves. We found the remains of dead seabirds and a sea lion, along with bits and pieces of crabs, clam, oysters and fish. The Black Oystercatchers (Haematopus bachmani) and various species of gulls seemed busy as they poked between rocks and patrolled sandy beaches.
All of these smaller photos are linked to larger views — some actually quite large as I thought there might be others who enjoy studying such things as much as I do.
