A classic portrait shot. A very popular type of photo for social media posts. I generally prefer taking photographs with more nature in view. But I do see the appeal of this type of shot as well, especially for social media content.

I recommend watching Nature Mood 02 - Oregon Coast Spring 2026 if you haven't already. Or watch it again if you have. It features these wild blooming Rhododendron.

While the Rhododendrons were blooming up in Oregon during my Spring visit, so were the Salal plants. There were thousands of these flowering branches that made the landscape very magical.

I believe that this specific Fungi is called Stereum Ochraceoflavum, however, I'm not positive. Because of that, and because that name is a bit scientific, I just went with Fungi for this photograph name. Note that all Mushrooms are Fungi, but not all Fungi are Mushrooms.

I enjoy all wildlife. Even small little Ants. The life that this little Ant is living is much different than yours and mine, but I think they are equally of value.

I wonder what they are talking about.

So majestic.

The adult male Tule Elk usually stuck together and left the females and juveniles to fend for themselves elsewhere on the property. While hanging out, they would often play with one another by locking their antlers and seeing who was stronger. It was all in good fun. These were taken as the Sun was setting and the sky in the area lit up in an orange hue.

The Tule Elk of Point Reyes Station were generally in herds, so I wanted to share a photograph that captured how their community groups together.
