“Fooled You”

It was cold enough this morning that these water drops were actually ice drops.

Dog doesn’t really know what to make of new fisheye lens, but she disapproves of photos in general.

Also, it’s going to be really hard to keep fingers out of this field of view.

“Bad Luck in the Woods”

Never know what you’ll find tossed out at trailside.

Broken mirror reflecting trees and sky

“No”

Had planned to go to the top but it would be hard to pretend I missed the sign.

“Horns of the Cow”

“Looking into Forever”

I was out hiking in the Oregon coast range today. It goes on for a ways.

multiple mountains covered with trees

“What the Hellebore”

Green Hellebore flower in my garden that has mistaken December for spring. The focus stacking didn’t really work with this lens at this distance, but I like the impressionistic effect it ended up giving.

“Marching Giants”

Trail at Mount Pisgah along a BPA right of way.

electric pylons in the woods

“Morning Hike”

I see a lot of scenes like this when I’m out in the winter. It’s nice that the sun is starting to inch back after the solstice.

“Friends”

Mushrooms at Mount Pisgah. People look at me funny when I’m laying in the mud to take these pictures but I can’t help it.
