“Blanket Creek Falls”
I spent several hours on some serious bushwhacking yesterday to get to the spot where I could take this picture. Not 100% sure it was worth the risk, but it did turn out to be a very pretty spot that I’m sure almost no one ever sees.
“The Slot”
Erosion at work along Brice Creek. Also testing the new “punchy blender” preset in Darktable.
“Reaching”
Just some moss hanging on to a cliff face.
“Cascade of Light”
2-second exposure from behind Upper Trestle Creek Falls.
“Ghost Leaf”
“Clear and Cold”
With bonus reflected trees.
“Creation Blues”
Actually, frost on top of my car this morning.
“Quality of Light”
Another view of Brice Creek Falls.
“Art of a River”
From a technical standpoint, this is a pretty horrible photo. But I still like the way it evokes the confusion of the water on Brice Creek yesterday.
“Brice Creek Falls”
One of the stops on today’s 16-mile hike. I’m so glad to live in Oregon.
“Confusion”
The gardening sites tell me azaleas bloom in April or May in Zone 8b, where I live. So according to this bush down the road I’ve misplaced at least two months somewhere.
“Forest Plesiosaur”
Prehistoric animal sighting in the fog.
Phone Fatigue
Google just spammed my phone with a list of great new Android features. As usual there is not a single one of them that I have any interest in using. Honestly, the main reason I have an Android phone at all is to have GPS-enabled maps. Oh, and to run the Olympus OI.Share app. I don’t think either of those requires phone service. Perhaps I should cancel the contract, keep the phone as a wifi + GPS device, and get a flip phone for the half dozen phone calls I actually make or take in any given month.
“Echo of a Farm”
I’m pretty sure this bit of ironmongery is an old well head. Now though it’s a lichen farm.
“Winter Remnant”
A gray shot from a very gray day. The structure of trees against sky is a continuing fascination for me.
“Frosting”
Well, actually, fungus. But it sure looks like a poorly-executed cake frosting flower.
“Chomp!”
Perhaps this isn’t one mushroom eating another, but I can’t unsee it.
“Foggy Hills”
“Peekaboo”
“Hazy Diamond”
Diamond Peak is 30 or 40 miles up the river from where I was standing on Mount Pisgah. So yeah, the view was hazy, but most of the time you can’t see it at all from here due to clouds.
