Sunset at Turtle Lane

Love evenings like this. When it’s not too hot or too cold. Amazing memories. I want to remember moments like this forever.

Work Newsletter

Here’s a little something I did at work. I’ve been doing them for about 5 months now. I think they turn out pretty good.

…edit…First reason I’m not liking wordpress. I can’t post HTML of the newsletter so all I can do right now it link to it.

Mosquito Bite

So, I thought this was pretty crazy when I saw it. It made me never want to be bite by a mosquito again. All we see if a little bug that lands on us and starts to bite. We always feel the itch afterwards. Take a look at the bite on a micro scale. Notice the tongue tails! That’s what I will call them. They freak me out.

 

Off to the beach!

So, I’m at it again. Blogging brings me back to when I had infocusphotography.com where I kept and managed a blog a couple times a week. It was hard work but rewarding. I’m trying out this new blog for a way to keep track of some of my thoughts, experiences, and adventures. My first adventure was off to the beach. Here where I live, there has been a ton of fires all around us. I heard (don’t know how true it is), but with all the fires in the US, all the fires in Oregon make up like 92% of the fires. Needless to say, we needed some fresh air. We went with some friends and it was a blast to just get away for the way. I wanted to share a wonderful tide pool we found. Take a look. I hope you enjoy.

Tide pool found in a rock. Picture Perfect!

I’ve never found a tide pool like this one. I’ve studied a lot about the ocean in some college classes. We did tide pool investigation which was usually right where the tide meets the rocks, but this tide pool was a giant boulder that had a worn out spot that caught ocean water in it. When the tide was in, the ocean almost covered the rock. When the tide was out, the water just ran around the bottom of the right, leaving the top of the rock and this perfect tide pool exposed. Those were some strong anemones!  Did you know they release nerotoxins, but thing is, they don’t affect us because our skin protects us. Now put it on your lips or tongue, that’s a different story. Give it a try sometime 😉

A close up on the star fish and the anemone. Weird question, but have you ever tried licking one of these? I have 🙂
