Along the Way

Last week Lenore, my brother Eric and I went up north up into Humboldt County. We were planning on visiting Fern Canyon but we never made it that far north. We walked one of the trails at the Arcata Marsh . The tide was out so there wasn't much bird life to photograph. Though I did manage to photograph some Lupine, a preening gull and a sparrow along the edge of the trail. Afterwards we had an excellent lunch at a Vietnamese restaurant with our son Jay. Next we drove up to Moonstone Beach. The sun was out and we played Frisbee on the beach and watched some climbers from Humboldt State University practicing their rock climbing skills on a rock on the beach.Here are some images from along the way of our adventure. You couldn't ask for a more beautiful day. chris All images created with a Canon 7D at a variety of settings.

Yesterday I was up in Eureka for a doctors appointment. While I was up there I thought I would walk around and check out Humboldt State University as that is one of the schools my son Jay is applying to for this next fall.

I was really impressed how clean the campus was. There was an interesting mix of new buildings with some that have definitely seen better days.In checking out the Wildlife and Fisheries Building I found a really cool greenhouse next to it that was open to the public. Stepping inside was a nice experience. It was divided up into various rooms cactus, tropical plants ferns etc. I could see myself escaping there to study on a cold winters day.

God's blessings to all,
