Can't climb on it, but one never gets tired of looking at it.

I like the photos but is there really enough water to go all the way to Oregon, let alone Taiwan?

It was a relief to find the local sea still there but the sun was disappearing Taiwan-ward.

Dry as dry can be in the PNW, Bruce. Threatened by a stalk of grass, though. Good thing Ondrej and Mook were out there, too.


I'm okay with the sun going West. That happens every day. It's that damn trip South that makes the Northern parts of the Traverse tricky for old fingers this time of year.

On my way in I met 3 guys on their way out.



Down by the water I noticed...

Same hold




They did not have pads.

Considering all the times I've been huffed at by sea lions there in thye summer, a great white would not be out of place.

An orca would probably make a great crashpad

Oh for an app that would alert me, if I had a cell phone. If there was an app. Grey whale, orca, dolphin, great white, or Chilean submarine.

One was a local photographer/climber, one was a face that seemed familiar from photos but whose name I couldn't be sure of, and Will.

Otters make me happy.

Good, gf. We need establishing shots, too.


Whatever they are?

edit:

An establishing shot in filmmaking and television production sets up, or establishes the context for a scene by showing the relationship between its important figures and objects. It is generally a long- or extreme-long shot at the beginning of a scene indicating where, and sometimes when, the remainder of the scene takes place.


Well. Maybe it is a little late in the thread for the establishing shot. Still a good picture of our environs, today.

I was soloing around at Copper Cove once when I heard some noises, yipping or like that, coming from by the water.

Peeked over an overhang just above the tide line to see Mama Otter and her brood, four of them.

Mama had a big ling cod, like a 15-pounder.

Well, the otters' jaws went snicker-snack and that ling cod was gone in like, 5 bites, man. Max.

I always scan for otters, among other things. Though I haven't managed to be out there when orcas are spy-hopping, I did see The Creature from the Black Lagoon going by.








The rare times I'm not out there will be covered by these babies.

...and some just clap their hands, or paws, or whatever they got, now


...and the otter hasn't got much to say







Thanks, Greg.
