I have wanted to see a walrus since I moved here. I heard about one a summer or two ago but it had gone before I heard. This one waddled past the beach, across the road, and decided to rest by a fence containing some snowmachines out at NARL. I saw it lift its head for the last time as I was setting up my tripod. Walrus = food so it was shot.
Went for a walk around 2am. Wasn’t disappointed.
For when you need that perfect lounging spot on top of a lava flow…
I passed this tree many times over this trip and finally stopped today, thankfully a beautiful day. This is an old lava flow that does have some life growing on it. I just loved this tree.
The trip to south point drives us through some beautiful ranchland.
It wasn’t a very long hike into this spectacular valley and black sand beach, but it was steep. We descended 420 feet in about half a mile and it was so worth it!
We joined a bonfire, Atticus ate smores, and we enjoyed the spectacular weather.
