More from Gonzales Beach, beside the glacial erratic of recent posts, looking west.
It is time, once again, for me to include a Hitty, or eleven, on these pages. I noticed this picture as I was looking through some older files and remembered that I hoped to use it sometime. Hittys are a large (well, small-large) part of my surroundings and I am often found taking their pictures, but usually for my spouse’s blog called Quimper Hittys (she usually does the photography, but sometimes wants something a bit different than can be managed with her point and shoot). I have previously posted about the Hittys, with a bit of an indication of their role in the household.
When I was watering the neighbour’s garden this summer I came across this fly on the edge of leaf. A great subject for the macro lens. I only wish I had got better depth of field for the fly.
This is a reprise of my Gonzales Erratic post of a couple of days ago. I got some useful suggestions for improvement in the comments on that post (thanks everyone) and followed up on them as best I could with the edits in these versions.
Gonzales Bay during blue hour last Saturday, this time looking at the (mostly) new houses on Crescent Road just before it turns down onto Harling Point.
This glacial erratic sits in the middle of Gonzales Bay, sometimes exposed at low tide like it was yesterday after sunset when I passed by on a walk. For more pictures of this erratic see an earlier post Gonzales Clouds taken with a much more interesting sky that I had to work with last night – that other post also has a bit of background about Gonzales Bay and it surrounds. In this picture I am of two minds about how the line of house disappears into the rock and the line of clouds and mountains emerges on the other side, I kind of like it, but find it distracting too.
I recently did a series on the Goldstream River, and salmon spawning. This photo is taken looking past the location of several of those shots at the highway back into town. It is my first ever attempt at long exposures of traffic. The traffic part did not work out that well, but the fall scene came out OK.
