Truckers call this stretch of mountain just East of Pendleton Oregon "Cabbage" but don't ask me why. One story was a truck loaded with cabbage crashed coming down, but lots of trucks have crashed coming down so why cabbage would get the name, who knows, but ask any trucker that's been driving a few years and they'll know about Cabbage hill. The the truck in this shot is headed East, I was standing just below the West bound lanes. I had parked at the scenic view point and hiked back to the highway and crossed over to get an open view of the mountains and highway below. (I'll include a link to my truck and the scenic view point)
Been back and forth between Phoenix and Los Angeles the past few days, at our Jurupa Valley terminal tonight and have tomorrow off, sort of, picking up Monday morning at 0300, so Mondays gonna kinda sucks, but getting layover pay which is double on the weekends. $200 for a day off, not bad.
Internet here is better at night, so gonna do as much tonight on Flickr as possible, and tomorrow even with slower internet should be able to do more viewing.
Hope you're all having a great weekend taking beautiful pictures.

Hi there,
Last summer, one of my goals was to try and capture a bee in-flight with my macro lens. This is one of my bizillion attempts.
Thank you for taking the time to look and for leaving me a comment! Have an amazing day!

One of those times when the camera lens is going to get wet... So much spray got blown in my direction. Another image includes a man with his dog to the right, and they look very windblown. That image is of even worse quality!

After securing our donuts in the town of Monterey Virginia we headed out into the beautiful countryside of Highland County looking for the Maple Sugar shack that we had visited almost one year ago to the day and were happy to find it. There are quite a few of these Maple Sugar making shacks around the county and many are open during the Maple Fest for visiting. These two gentleman are the same two men that were there last year. So knowledgeable in the process of making maple syrup they generally took turns talking to visitors and explaining the cooking down process but just this one time I was able to snap a shot with both of them in it. I think the one in the background with the purple hat looks like Compo on the "Last of the Summer Wine" a British Sitcom that ran from 1973 to 2010. It's very dark in the shed and the only heat is from the fires used to boil down the sap. Unfortunately for us, but happily for them, they had already sold all their Maple Syrup.

I do not like to photograph people because I always have to seek their permission to do so. These two of my neighbors agreed but on condition that I give them those photos. It was a very fun experience. First they posed by leaving their shovels and standing side by side,serious as in church . When I shot them the way they wanted, I showed them the photos and they were pleased. Then I asked them if they allowed me to shoot their tools and they continued to work on making concrete and I was able to shoot them as they worked.
Talking to them, I learned that my neighbors thought I am a weird woman and they call me 'Rambo'. They never know what bush I am hiding behind, passing by they often see me at some strange place, roof, tree or crawling through the grass just like Rambo.
I unsuccessfully explained to them that is a best way to take a good wildlife photos.
One of the fun parts of visiting Custer State Park was petting the wild Donkeys that roam the park freely. There are signs everywhere stating not to feed the Donkeys but people were doing it anyways.
We let the others feed them and then when the Donkeys came over to us looking for food we just petted them and they moved on.
Usually on the 23rd June there are fires on our mountains, they are called Johanni Feuer (Johannes Fires). This year the mountain here was surrounded by clouds so I couldn't see what they'd done. This image you see was taken in 2020, i.e. during the pandemic. When you zoom in you can see that the cross is half done and the little lights show you were people stand or work on the display.
I have no idea how difficult it is to move around up there and I also don't know about coming down again safely after dark. Maybe one of the mountaineers on Flickr can enlighten me. I do know that someone got killed a few years ago, so it is probably not "a walk in the park"
Day 3 of the black and white photo food challenge. One day I will make efforts to shoot with a hand model so that I don't have to struggle and contort myself to make a shot. I am set up in my basement next to the only isolated North facing window in the house. Sourdough bread is a labor of love. I had a starter in my fridge but when I went on vacation it went bad so I decided to order one from King Arthur Flour. It is a starter that has been around since the 1700's. This is my first loaf of bread attempted with the new starter, I am excited!
Had a date with my sweet husband and made it to see Bohemian Rhapsody, I'm late to the party but at least I made it. Left so heart broken and inspired at the same time. I remember when I first heard Bohemian Rhapsody and I was hooked, I called the radio station constantly begging to hear it again and again. Thank you Freddy Mercury for all that you were, you are still making a difference in the world.

Reddish Egret
Egretta rufescens
Reddish egrets hunt by racing around in shallow water, hoping to scare up some fish. Much of the time they spread out their wings as they do so. Alas, when this one did it was running away from me, and much farther away. There's always next time!
