With her high cheekbones and her hair in an elegant bun, she made me imagine a fashionable lady in the Roman Empire.
One more of that fabulous place, just because this one was so different being all by itself.

Murphy Creeks on one of the main water sources that feeds Fall Creek Lake near Lowell Oregon. There are several camping areas along the creek. We were just out for a drive exploring roads, we followed Big Fall Creek road until it became nothing more than dirt. It took us up into the mountains, when we hit snow we turned around. This photo was taken looking back up the creek from under a bridge. The water is high and fast right now from the rains. Our velvety green moss covers everything.

This photo was taken near McKercher Park.
The Calapooia (cala - POO - ya) River is an 80-mile (130 km) tributary of the Willamette River in the state of Oregon. The Calapooia was named for the Kalapuya (also spelled Calapooia), a tribe of Native Americans.
The McKercher Park to Brownsville section of the Calapooia River is 7 miles long and is, according to American Whitewater, a class I section of whitewater. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Oregon tend to be more challenging than the national average, so don't forget that the rivers in this state are less manageable.
I was almost back to my car coming back from Greenway park when this junco alit near me in the grass. I squatted for the low perspective, and it ventured even closer!
Owyhee (oh-WHY-hee) Reservoir or Owyhee Lake is a reservoir on the Owyhee River in Malheur County, Oregon, United States. Located in far Eastern Oregon near the Idaho border, the reservoir is Oregon's longest at 52 miles (84 km).
The name of the lake is from the older spelling of "Hawaii." It was named for three Hawaiian trappers, in the employ of the North West Company, who were sent to explore the uncharted river. They failed to return to the rendezvous near the Boise River and were never seen again. Due to this, the lake and its region were named "Owyhee".
The Molalla (mo-LA-la) River is a 51-mile (82 km) tributary of the Willamette River in the northwestern part of Oregon. The Molalla is the largest Willamette tributary unblocked by a dam.
During the early 19th century, the area around the river was populated by the Molala people. During that time, an extensive system of trails along the river allowed trade between the peoples of the Willamette Valley and eastern Oregon. As late as the 1920s, the trails were used by Native Americans from the Warm Springs Indian Reservation to reach huckleberry-picking grounds near Table Rock.
Whitewater enthusiasts sometimes run the upper reaches of the Molalla River as well as the lower. Under certain conditions, the 5.1-mile (8.2 km) stretch from Copper Creek to Table Rock Fork can be navigated by boaters capable of handling technical class III (intermediate) to IV (advanced) water on the International Scale of River Difficulty. Below that comes a stretch, about 5 miles (8 km) long, of class III to III+ water. Hazards on these upper miles may include narrow chutes, sudden drops, and logs in the water. The next 8 miles (13 km), Turner Bridge to Glen Avon Bridge, are rated technical class III to IV with hazards similar to the upper reaches but also including scouting difficulties as well as a dangerous undercut at a rapids called Goldilocks,
It is always a peaceful setting when you can capture a sunset on the Oregon Coast.

I can't quite make out what it is this crow was working on, but there was obviously some skill and patience involved. I was just able to grab a quick shot while holding Blanca with my left hand. She wanted to chase the crow, and the crow knew it but was reluctant to abandon the prize and waited till the last moment before flying off with it.
this past week was my first time traveling to Portland Oregon and I have to say that I absolutely loved it. can't wait to go back.
this image is just a little night photography overlooking the skyline of downtown Portland Oregon, Flickr family I hope you enjoy it thank you.

Once in a while, I see people riding on the beach and it's always a pleasure for me to see a horse. I couldn't tell if Tidda was more interested in the dog or the horses. I had her on the leash, of course, because you don't want to risk spooking a horse.
The tile is not a political statement, though I could pontificate on that for some time. No, the title is simply a fall image from Oregon. I am not usually a fan of shooting abstracts like this. In this case I saw the tree in the field, enshrouded by the solid precipitation and I instantly saw the image in my head. I had to shoot it. You would now know it, but this is not some isolated field, there are homes just 200 feet from that tree, the fog was just that thick. Not a lot of processing on this one, just a simple image trying to show fall. Let me know what you think.
A scenic drive enjoying Oregon's beautiful coves, interesting rock formations & sea caves along the coastline from Newport.
Thanks for your warm visits, comments, faves and invites.
Have a wonderful day!
The Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area is a special place. One of the largest expanses of temperate coastal sand dunes in the world.
The water is so blue, so deep, it’s no surprise it’s the deepest lake in America, and one of the deepest on earth. That’s why it’s one of the 7 Wonders of Oregon.
Crater Lake was formed from the collapse of Mount Mazama, a volcano in southern Oregon that once stood about 11,000 feet tall. A series of destructive eruptions around 5000 BC caused the mountain's peak to collapse into its lava chamber, resulting in a caldera nearly six miles wide. Over time, snowmelt and rain collected in the crater to form the lake, which at 1,949 feet deep, is presently the deepest in the USA, 2nd in North America, and 9th in the world. Based on a comparison of average depths, however, Crater Lake at 1148 feet, is the deepest in the Western Hemisphere and third deepest in the world
The Oregon Swallowtail (*Papilio oregonius or Papilio machaon oregonius) is Oregon's official state insect, known for its striking yellow and black wings and long tails.
It demonstrates a preference for drier sagebrush habitats in the Columbia River basin, feeding on wild tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus) and nectar from wildflowers like thistles, making it a beautiful native symbol of the Northwest's drier side.
I walked just after the rain, and encountered numerous birds exulting in the break in the weather. The trees were alive with sound. Among the participants were several Oregon Juncos darting between the trees. Some were against the sky, but I especially liked this shot because of the background!
I was almost back to the office when this junco landed in the tree right next to me. Lunch hour was extended for this photo shoot!
Many may not know that Oregon has an expansive desert region. This playa is known as the Alvord desert in the southeast corner of the State. It's funny to visit here because while there may be others on the desert floor camping, you certainly feel all alone, hence the name of the image (plus, it's a great Crowded House song). Though the second night we were there some stooge was throwing some kind of rave or something and sound can really carry on that playa. Gr.
The playa is interesting, photographically, but you really need something great in the sky too or your image will just not be that great. We had planned to camp a few nights. The first night's sunset was a strikeout, plain open skys. The sunrise the next morning, also a bust. Nothing at all in the sky.
The next night we were on the other side of the Steens Mountains as the sun was starting to go down. I was not that worried about it because I did not expect any clouds. And then... Crap. There they were, but we were on the wrong side of the mountain. Time to scurry.
We took off as fast as possible to get to the other side so we could capture the sunset on the playa with clouds. We made it, but just barely, in fact, that cool wisp of dust in the background was our dust, trying to get the car out of the frame. I was glad though, it added a lot to the image.
The next morning, BTW, nothing. No clouds at all. Glad we scurried.
Let me know what you think.
