We were driving towards Sunriver after doing a sunrise shoot of Mt. Bachelor. It had been a very cold and clear morning up by the mountain with temps around 4 degrees F. As we came down the mountain we ran into this area of freezing fog which had encased the trees and ground in a thin layer of ice. Where the sun could break through the fog the trees just sparkled. The fog would lift and settle along the drive and it felt very surreal. Finally found a place we could safely pull over and shot a dozen or so images.

Winskill Photographer. Or is that the other way round? 😆 No idea why, but I decided to "nip" to Winskill after my day on the Howgill Fells. The light lasted for about 3 minutes after I arrived, hence the obvious and rather rushed composition!

In other news, I'm still breathing after my phone call with my MP. And I must say, it was very interesting! We even agreed about a few things. Imagine me agreeing with a Tory? 😂

Of the 30 or more birds roosting in a tree on the far bank, only one White Ibis decided to come down to the water to feed. Happily, it picked a spot just a few feet from where I was floating on Horsepen Bayou, as though it thought I knew where the best worms and such were hiding.

This Great Blue Heron is the same one I posted in flight a few days ago, just as it landed. At Jackson Bottom Wetlands in Hillsboro, Oregon.

Thank you for visiting!

the summertime,

when the weather is hot

You can stretch right up and touch the sky

When the weather's right

You got women, you got women on your mind

Have a drink, have a drive

Go out and see what you can find

If her daddy's rich, take her out for a meal

If her daddy's poor, just do what you feel

Speed along the lane, do a turn or return to 25

When the sun goes down, you can make it

Make it good in a lay-by

We're no threat, people, we're not dirty, we're not mean

We love everybody, but we do as we please

When the weather's fine, we go fishing or go swimming in the sea

We're always happy, life's for living

Yeah, that's our philosophy

Sing along with us

Dee-dee-dee, dee-dee

Dah-dah-dah, dah-dah

Yeah we're hap-happy

Dah dah-dah

Dee-dah-do, dee-dah-do, dah-do-dah

Yeah, dah-do, dah-dah-dah

Dah-dah-dah, do-dah-dah

Alright

When the winter's here, yeah it's party time

Bring your bottle, wear your bright clothes

It'll soon be summertime

And we'll sing again, we'll go driving

Or maybe we'll settle down

If she's rich, if she's nice, bring your friends

And we'll all go into town

In the summertime, when the weather is hot

You can stretch right up and touch the sky

When the weather's right, you got women

You got women on your mind

Have a drink, have a drive, go out and see what you can find

If her daddy's rich, take her out for a meal

If her daddy's poor, just do what you feel

Speed along the lane, do a turn or return to 25

When the sun goes down, you can make it

Make it good in a lay-by

We're no threat, people, we're not dirty, we're not mean

We love everybody, but we do as we please

When the weather's fine, we go fishing or go swimming in the sea

We're always happy, life's for living

Yeah, that's our philosophy

Sing along with us

Dee-dee-dee, dee-dee

Dah-dah-dah, dah-dah

Yeah we're hap-happy

Dah dah-dah

Dee-dah-doo, dee-dah-do, dah-do-dah

Yeah dah-dah, dah-dah-dah...

Yeah, alright
