So we had the perfect set up for wave watching. Full moon, high tide and Pacific storm all came together for these images. Most images of Fogarty beach show the rock formation on the south side of beach, so I turned my camera and shot to the north. I was taken by surprise at how far one of these waves came in. I came away with wet shoes and jeans.

One of the grand views from Newport's Yaquina Head Natural Area. The wildflower's were beautiful and abundant under wonderful skies. And the song of the surf was so peaceful and soothing.
Seems I'm always on the move to see more and fill more memory cards. Gonna work on slowing down more and spending more time in such special places. Duh!
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Double holiday here, with Juneteenth and Father's Day. Enjoy!
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".
Captured this hunter at a marsh located near Lyons, Oregon on the 4th of July.
We are now exploring the northwest corner of Oregon.
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.

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!
As seen from the viewpoint right next to parking lot. Taken after first light.
With a sheer plunge of 89 feet, Tumalo Falls is both the tallest and most impressive waterfall along Tumalo Creek - as well as one of the most popular outdoor destinations in the vicinity of Bend. The area around the falls was burnt in a 1979 forest fire, though like the landscape surrounding Mount St. Helens after it's devastating 1980 eruption, the forest is quickly healing. A few snags still line the hillsides along the valley but the area is green again, covered with small fir trees and not at all detracting from the splendor of the falls. A nice set of viewpoints both at the top and near the base of the falls make viewing the falls possible for nearly everyone.
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!

The day we shot this it was cool for early September with light cloud cover. The pool was this great emerald green color. I have been since and the green wasn't as pronounced. But it was unreal on this day.
Sullivan Creek is the largest tributary of Cedar Creek, itself one of the larger feeders of the Little North Santiam River. As the creek drops to it's confluence with Cedar Creek, it cascades down this series of pretty and rather impressive falls. Some published accounts suggest the falls are between 40 and 60 feet tall, however on our most recent survey we measured the falls to stand 162 feet tall. This is likely not an accurate measurement of the entire falls either, as there are at least two more tiers just upstream which are not visible from the road, and this may bring the total height of the falls to over 200 feet.
Though the entire falls are not visible from below, absolutely zero effort is needed to enjoy this waterfall. The stream crashes down the final steps of the series of cascades into a pool immediately adjacent to the road, which offers a nice opportunity for wading and cooling off in the summer.
