Thanks to all who looked, and especially all who commented!

Well done as usual. I'm surprised that you were able to get so close to the deer. My guess is that you were only
about 50 feet away.
Oh much closer than that, under 30'. Shot through an open driver's window. They were edgy, but it seems the little RV
that close, and on a road, may have been less scary than if we were on foot. One may get even closer than that here at
home, where the deer are very used to cars.

Excellent set, Moose. Particularly as it is a type on coastline so
different from my own.
I can see that just taking what interested me made for a poor travelog. When out on the beach, I should have shot North
along the coast. Shelter Cove is a relatively flat spot, while immediately North starts the so called Lost Coast, where
very rugged, mountainous terrain goes right into the sea. Road less but for a very sketchy dirt track for more serious
off road vehicles and most of the coast may be reached only by boat. "Lost" because the coastal roads just go around it.
So yes, actually even more different than you thought. The coast from mid Calif. through Oregon and into Wash. is
spectacularly rugged in many parts.

Nice mix indeed, Moose, which does indeed present the locality well.
As above, not really very well. :-(
I can
especially sympathise with the next-to-last image having been woken by a
cruise liner struggling to its berth in a sea fog at 6am this morning. It
was so think it took an hour and a half to get alongside.
The same shot on a really foggy day on this coast would just look like a gray
card. :-)

Looks like a nice place to spend some time.
Spring or fall. Don't make any reservations in summer unless you have more pull with the Fog Gods than I. We stayed in a
redwood park farther inland in the sweet spot between often foggy coast and always hot inland. We chose the direction of
our day trips based on the coastal weather, or just stayed put and swam in the river. :-)

Yes, nice set. Look fwd to more. See you got the E-M5 out for some exercise and perhaps the new Panny zoom?
These were all with 12-50 on E-M5 and 75-300 on GX7 hung around my neck at once. I bought the Panny zoom to use with the
GM1, as it has no IBIS. It hasn't had all that much use, but it handy for what I got it for.
Here's a sample of a busker in Arcata.
