In my travels I often pause to imagine what it would look / be like absent of invasive species. I'm so use to seeing them it's hard to imagine them not being here.

Invasive species, Mario? We got'em all. The coast is rich in invasive species.

That one really isn't worth the trouble. Bigger ones, yeah. Trouble with driftwood is sand gets worked into the cracks and seams.

WESTPORT and Pete's Beach One-half mile south of Wage's Creek is Westport and in-between is Pete's Beach. A quaint little beach, a couple hundred yards long, generally steep, black sand beach. It's also a blind beach, which means, if a big wave comes in there's no getting away from it...

WAGE'S CREEK Immediately south of Union Landing is Wage's Creek, where you will find yet another campground, but this one is private, and has a lot more amenities. These views of Wage's Creek were captured from a pullout on the highway, and whenever the weather, or something, is right I'll...

UNION LANDING Sticking with alphabetical order... next we have Union Landing. Located approximately 16 miles north of Ft. Bragg between Westport and Juan Creek. The state took over this stretch of coastline during the early 70s, and through the years they slowly developed camp sites and...

Ten Mile River, Beach and Dunes And there's more! 7 miles north of Ft. Bragg is the Ten Mile River. Although it should be called Ten Mile Creek. Either way it's still a pretty viewpoint along the coast, and the watershed holds a significant part of the logging history around these parts...

Yeah, it's pretty obvious. It's a blind beach they say, during storm and high tides there little to no beach at all.

SCHOONER GULCH Now here we have Schooner Gulch. Located on the beautiful Mendocino Coast between the towns of Gualala and Point Arena, which would put it at approximately State Highway milepost marker 12. Schooner gulch hosts some unusual geologic features not found elsewhere along the coast...

Russian Gulch Russian Gulch is yet another State Park along the Mendocino Coast. It is located approximately 6 miles south of Ft. Bragg. Fairly good size, 1000 acres or so, extending inland to the head of the small watershed there. There is another Russian Gulch in Sonoma County, much...

Immediately south of Pt. Arena Light is the Stornetta Public Lands. About 2 miles of ocean front. A few of you may remember I posted these pics before. But I think there's a new one or two in the bunch. Pasture lands, sandstone bluffs to 60-70 feet high, and few waterfalls along the way...

Pt. Arena Light By highway, the Pt. Arena Light lies 41 miles south of Ft. Bragg, along the Mendocino coast, and it is 15 miles north of the Sonoma county line. The geology at the Light is ancient marine sediment tilted-sandstone. As well much of the rest of the coast on south through...

Thanks, Buddy!. Reminds me, I'm behind on posting. Better get cracking

Every few years I get a new body or lens, or maybe two. As it is I have more cameras and lenses right now than Carter's got little liver pills.

All the way from Seattle, and the year 2003, it's Mike Oxman! A few people in that old pic sure look familiar. Looks like the morning it started raining on our little project. I was shooting digital video back then. A Sony VX100. It was a few years later, 06, I bought my first digital still...

Appreciated, thank you.

Wide angle lens and small apertures make for great landscape shots. Postcards never struck me as profitable endeavor, Stig. I just like taking pictures. thanks

Digital revolutionized photography. It's amazing.

Damn straight.

I've worn out half a dozen in my time, Butch. Quite literally, like a worn out shock absorber. Usually the zoom lenses go before the bodies, as the barrels get sloppy: the zoom, focus and aperture start locking up. The bodies seem to hold up alright, but dust gets embedded and then the...
