The Blue-cific Ocean!

Here are some photos that I took yesterday at various places along the coast, from Crescent City to the Klamath River estuary...  (When I was little we called the Pacific the Blue-cific!)

This is at Crescent City, the first place I saw the Pacific Ocean on this trip.
I LOVE pelicans!

The laughing gull and the serene pelican.

So peaceful...

I am not sure what these are for -- anybody have an idea? 

Trying to decide whether to do a cannonball, a swan dive, or just jump in...

This is a little further down the coast...

The waves were not too big 


Thar be WHALES down thar! (They're a little camera shy.)

This is near the mouth of the Klamath River

  1. Susan, I think the wire basket things are crab traps. I don't know if I can post a link here but they look a lot like this one.

  2. Thanks, Tom! That does look like what they are. I probably would have stopped somebody to ask them but I was ready to get back on the road by the time I saw them.
