RRHMA is America's newest railroad museum, and now operates out of the former Chicago, Rock Island, & Pacific's primary shop complex. RRHMA is now home to Union Pacific's 3985 and 5511 and IAIS's 6988 steam locomotives, as well as UP's Centennial 6936. On this day, Canadian Pacific's 2816, "The Empress," payed a visit to RRHMA to celebrate UP 6936's return to operation, which it was doing by giving excursions around yard.
I was sitting on the ground of the parking lot watching the Mountain Bluebird pair gathering food for their babies. They spent more time on the ground so I sat down and watched waiting to get a shot. About a minute later, I looked up and this Rock Wren was right in front of me.
I knew Rock Wrens had been seen up there but I was not expecting to look up and see it staring at me. Surprised and delighted me! No calls played.

Rock is a great master of life. It teaches us this simple philosophy: Stay firm!

Scrambling around the rocks at Killcare Beach I came across this interesting rock which looked somewhat like a whale ... Bungan Head is in the distance.
This is another species that benefits from washed-up seaweed or wrack and is often found feeding there, despite its name. It is, however, found mainly along rocky coastlines and it breeds in rock crevices and debris along the shoreline

This is a photo of a river rock, and the reflection of trees on the wind blown surface of the river. I have rotated the image clock-wise to the vertical which creates an abstract and painterly impression of an upward burst of energy.

I enjoyed the Cathedral Spires Trail. You see the rock formations from so many angles that it was a little difficult to limit my pictures to just a few. It's a nice, short, picturesque trail.

Last weekend I took a short trip around the state of Oregon. Well, actually it was a long trip, but short on time. I traveled almost 800 miles from Friday evening through to Saturday night. As I planned the trip, I wanted to make sure to hit as much of the coast as possible as well as Crater Lake. I finally determined that the best alternative was to hit the coast on the way back allowing me to catch night and sunrise shots on Crater Lake, so that left finding something suitable on the way out. During this effort, I received a suggestion to stop at Smith Rock which not only provided a great scene but also worked out perfectly for catching Friday's sunset. The only bummer was passing all the great scenes with no time to stop, but the end result more than made up for it. For those unfamiliar, Smith Rock State Park is just north of Redmond, Oregon and about 20 miles north of Bend. It's considered by many to be the rock climbing Mecca of the west.
I got to the area about 1/2 hour before sunset and had a planned vantage in the park thanks to TPE. However, pulling up I decided to call an audible for a couple reasons. First, the rock is much bigger than I thought and a shot from the park would be too close. Second, as I was approaching the park I passed a spot off the side of the road that provided an interesting foreground as well as an elevated view of the rock. The sunset that day would have been perfect if not for the mountains to the west being socked in which ended the sunset artificially early. I wasn't complaining though, considering I had just about an hour to find and shoot this landmark, I came away pretty lucky!
Of all the rocks on the beach, why do certain ones call to us?
Loved arranging these on an old peeling drop leaf table
with a built in horizon line!

A last picture from the Banff National Park. Actually, we crossed into the Kootenay National Park in British Columbia (my first time in BC, just for an hour or so...) here, to reach the Rock Isle Lake in the Sunshine Meadows area. Another beautiful walk and a magnificent place. Here I used a wide angle lens and decided to keep the flare in the pictue, as I think it add something without distracting from the scenery.

Of our 4 "Rock"-named species, the Rock Wren's name is perhaps the most apt. Molino Vista. Mt. Lemmon.
