It's a good idea in theory. If we post some photos after each visit to Inverness it will create a photo log of how things look at different times of year.


All this is dependent on actually taking photos and then downloading and posting them. We will try to do better in 2009.


In the interim, this is too good to let slide. This guy looked big -- 70 to 80 lbs maybe. We caught sight of him walking through one of the cow pastures between us and Abbot's Lagoon on our way back from a hike and bird watching.


Also observed but not photographed were sea lions in large groups (30 to 40) herding fish (we think). There were in a line, moving rapidly often surfing a swell, and arching out of the water as they swam like dolphins.

Once more into the Blog

The concept here was to use this as a way to chronicle events...bloom cycles, migration, mushrooms...through the seasons. However for that to work, we have actually to post. Let's see if we can do better from now on. Here's some photos from the last few months.

All photos are from the Sea Ridge grounds.

Rhodies in February have few blooms but gorgeous leaves that catch the drips from fog and mist.




By April the blooms have begun.

Daffodils in February.

Gather steam in March and early April

But are pretty much gone by April's end. Compensating for that, the native iris are up and rolling.
