Clam Gulch and a Bonus Pic
I thought I would share a few more pictures. It was not a real great morning on the opposite side of the inlet, but at Clam Gulch itself it was a pretty nice morning. A pretty early morning for us, the sun was behind us and shining onto the beach. Up first is what I call the grassy sighting rock.
Just behind the rock here is where the creek ends it journey to the sea. I am not sure of the name of the creek, and getting a good picture, well, lets just say I still need a lot of practice with my camera. Still overall it was not that bad of a shot and you can see the creek.
It's not that big of a creek, nor is it very deep, the salmon however do use it to get to an inland lake or a spawning area. Surprisingly there were very few bugs when I went to get the picture. No mosquitoes, biting flies, or pesky gnats.
This next picture is a shot of the bluff area just above the creek exit, a nice sloping field of green, the sun was at a nice angle to show the color, and the contrasting blue sky with just a few thin clouds I thought came out pretty nicely.
On the dead tree at the very top quite frequently you can see an eagle, not today though. My wife did get a few pictures of a couple of magpies playing and flying around, me, not so lucky.
The fire weed is pretty much in full bloom right now, there was, as there is on most beaches, a little bit of a breeze, still most of the picture came out pretty good.
Well that was pretty much the best shots I got on the 7th, but as promised here is a bonus picture this one was taken on Aug 4th, down on the road to the cannery. I really like how it came out, I thought the cloud was a great shape, and the golden foreground with the mountains in the background made for a nice picture.
I hope you enjoyed the picture show, and if there are any question feel free to ask. All pictures were taken by me with my Nikon D7500 camera. Minimal post processing, a little tilting on the water line, and a little bulging in a couple of spots, (it sort of minor fish eyed on that one for some reason), all of them were cropped, and resized so as to not overload my bandwidth allowance.
