“Almost There”
I blew past this guy on the trail up Spencer Butte. He was clearly on the struggle bus. But he made it to the top, and good for him.
We visited the Cascades Raptor Center this morning. Shooting through wire mesh so not the best picture ever, but this guy was still pretty impressive. Like the other birds in residence, he’s not suited for life in the wild - in this case because raised by (possibly well-meaning) humans when young.
Just wanted to express my appreciation that micro.blog/discover is getting regular updates these days. I’m guessing that’s @BonnieRue ’s doing, but even if I’m wrong and the updates are just sprinkled in by magical unicorn fairies I still like seeing them!
“Quiet”
This is the Blue Pool on the McKenzie River Trail, from last year about this time. I wish I was up there today, instead of at home.
“Spindly”
Hiking in Oregon, I photograph lots of mushrooms . Even so, I was surprised at how fragile the stems of these tiny guys were.
“Red Light District”
Just playing with a little LED spotlight on the trail.
“Type 2 Fun”
Blowdowns and trail debris on the North Umpqua Trail. In case you can’t see it, the “trail” runs right up the center of this picture.
I think I’ll try uploading image descriptions instead of technical info for a bit. People can always ask if they want to know about the camera gear.
“Buttery Smooth”
Witches Butter fungus growing on a stump along the North Umpqua Trail, Tioga segment. This was a truly miserable hike but I still managed to find a few things to photograph when I wasn’t stuck in brambles or sliding down muddy hills.
“Fishing Day”
Olympus E-M10 IV with 40-150mm lens @ 58mm, f/8, 1/500s, ISO 200. Shot at Clear Lake.
