Visiting My Daughter-Day Two…Patrick’s Point

I shared photos from my visit to Patrick’s Point in yesterday’s post. This is a continuation of your photo tour from that visit.

Enjoy!

Anyone know what may have caused the circles on this rock?

Do you see the face in this rock? And how about this banana slug! He is a big one!

The park features a small recreated traditional Native American village maintained by the Yurok people. The village is called Sumeg Village and is in use today. One can see a redwood canoe, a sweat house, a dance house, and family houses.

If you enjoyed this little photo tour, then you might like to hop on over to my daughter’s website, where she shares more about Patrick’s Point, including watching her Coastie husband and crewmates hoisting. She is a much better photographer than I am!

Visiting My Daughter-Day Two…Patrick’s Point

While visiting our daughter, she took us to a fabulous park known as Patrick’s Point. I would go back again and again and again if I could! I found this to be a magical place!

Patrick’s Point is 30 miles north of Eureka, California. It is a lush, 640 acre park that takes you to the jungle and to the seaside. There is so much to explore! The park has spectacular views and six miles of trails.

I took loads of photos…I couldn’t help myself…it is such a beautiful place!

Explore! Stay healthy and stay safe!

Douglas Falls

Many of you know that I am taking a photography class.

Hubby and I took a drive to one of our favorite places, so that I could practice and catch up on homework.  We drove to nearby Douglas Falls Grange Park State Park.

My daughter, daughter-in-law, and niece are all beautiful girls interested in photography (and are becoming excellent photographers) and wanted to see what I was working on.

So this post is for them.

I was working on photographing water with different shutter speeds.  Here are the results:

Get out, if you can, and explore the world around you!

Nisqually Wildlife Refuge

*Warning: Picture heavy post!

This will be my last post on what I did during vacation.  I had such a grand time with my family, and I appreciate them so much!

Our son and daughter-in-law took Hubby and I to another wonderful wildlife refuge.  I would come back again and again if I could!  This one is called the Nisqually Wildlife Refuge.  There is so much to explore, I barely touched the surface.  I wish I had better photos, but you will get the idea.  There were a lot of eagles, but they weren’t interested in a photo shoot.

Here is another link that shares about the refuge.

These last few photos Hubby took with his pocket camera.  There were so many waterfowl creatures, and plenty of bird watchers and better photographers than we out this day!
