I have a favorite early morning perch at Halibut Point for bird photography. Back-warming light floods onto the cedars where the birds will visit. At this hour the light and air mix tangibly to enhance visibility just when the birds are most active.
I settle
into a glacier-smoothed pocket on the quarry rim to make myself into a human
tripod, one leg draped over the ledge, the other propped up to support elbows
and camera. It's so cozy the coffee levitates all the senses.

The trees give a good vantage point to ground dwellers like the brown thrasher that want an occasional look-around.
