I spotted a pair of juncos flying up from the brush, fluttering around each other, then landing in a tree near me. Got a few shots of the male before they drifted off together.
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!
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!
The Prineville Reservoir is in the high desert hills of Central Oregon. The reservoir is on the Crooked River 14 miles (22.5 km) southeast of Prineville, and 29 miles (46.7 km) east of Bend . This reservoir is a popular retreat for most of Central Oregon. It is near the geographic center of Oregon. Prineville Reservoir State Park is managed by the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department.
Prineville Reservoir was created by damming, via the Arthur R. Bowman Dam, the Crooked River upstream from Prineville. The reservoir is part of the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation's Crooked River Project, flooding a juniper- and sagebrush-filled canyon, and was finished in 1961. The dam and reservoir are owned by the Bureau of Reclamation, and operated under contract by Ochoco Irrigation District. Prineville Reservoir covers 18 miles (29 km) of the Crooked River and is primarily an irrigation storage water body, with secondary objectives of Crooked River flood control and public recreation. Prineville Reservoir has a maximum depth of 130 feet (40 m) and storage of just over 150,000 acre feet (190,000,000 m3) of water.
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.

The Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area is a special place. One of the largest expanses of temperate coastal sand dunes in the world.
Cline Falls is one of the highest waterfalls along the Deschutes River in Central Oregon. It is a steep segmented cascade. The falls drop approximately 20 ft (6.1 m) through several channels carved into the basalt cliff that cuts crosses the riverbed. The falls are approximately 50 ft (15 m) wide with an average flow of 200 cu ft/s (5.7 m3/s). However, the flow over the falls varies throughout the year as a result of irrigation water being taken out of the river above the falls during the summer. The falls have a forward run of about 50 ft (15 m), descending at 77-degree angle through the cataract.
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 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!
Owyhee (oh -WHY- hee) Reservoir or Owyhee Lake is a reservoir on the Owyhee River in Malheur County, Oregon. 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 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.
