Whale Magic

The Grey Whale is still in the Klamath River, trying to corral her calf from moving upstream.  This was taken looking upstream on the Klamath River from Highway 101, and the light just fell perfectly to capturing a rainbow from the whale’s spray.

This Grey Whale and her calf have been spending a little time in the Klamath River, between the estuary and the bridge.  Quite astounding to see these two creatures as they move back and forth, sometimes providing a show.  Beautiful.

The Moment…

I’ve always enjoyed taking pictures at rodeos ~  A child eating ice cream, iconic cowboys sitting on the fence with their hat tipped back talking and one upping each other, fast horses, pretty girls….and action.

And sometimes….it’s all distilled into a singular moment.

 

 

 

Girls of Summer

Summer has finally arrived on the North Coast – and yesterday was Day 1 of the 50th Annual Orick Rodeo.  I spent the day taking photos of horses, riders, broncs and bulls – These three girls so perfectly captured the feeling of the day.
