Point Reyes National Seashore is a place of astonishing beauty. It isn't all that far from me, [livejournal.com profile] kynekh_amagire had never been there, and I have been a bit low about the emotions all week, so we made the journey to the point.

It was wonderful. Here, I'll post the vulture shot first, in honor of Kyn. I think that this is my best vulture capture to date!

Luck, isn't all that sand in your mouth a little uncomfortable?

awwwww. I think that this captured both of their personalities.

Shelt of the surf.

Fluff in motion?

Coba is so in love with Luck. I have no idea how to tell him that the object of his affections is very neutered and has no idea what he's talking about. Funny as hell, though. Polite little housefox courtship behavior. We laugh.

He is very handsome, though.

Chaos is getting the idea that there's...something...some dogs do with sticks. It involves eye-snout coordination, though, and that's tricky.

And now, adorable fluffy little shorebirds. I haven't cracked a field guide yet, but if any of you bird people care to make a stab at the ID, go for it!

Photobucket

I'm guessing some sort of plover.

The silver/white one was in a flock with the barred ones. Same species?

I am really pleased with this gull sequence. I learned more about what the camera will and won't do on the first one; the light quality was just utterly gorgeous, but the camera couldn't quite deal with it...too bright, I think, or too close an angle with the sun. Still.

This is where we were. Really, this place is mind-bendingly, gloriously beautiful.

I think the little banded guys are Wilson's plovers and the pretty silver things are sanderlings, but I'm sure [livejournal.com profile] selasphorus will kick my ass if I'm wrong.

What a glorious day. The photos, gorgeous as they (really, truly) are, still scarcely do it justice.

There are some things you just can't get a picture of, and that's actually most of the things that I tend to value the most deeply, but you can get some interesting images in the trying.

Thanks for going with. That was really quite wonderful.

You have slain me. You have slain me with cuteness and beauty and love and nature.

I'm glad that the images have moved you. It was a beautiful day.

I'm pretty happy with the gull sequence, gotta say.

You shall have to make that twice slain, for the same thing happened to me. So cute and awesome!
