In March I went to central Oregon to ride my bike, at Smith Rock State park I found a Bald Eagle enjoying the scenery! But the photo above is completely unrelated to that! I’m not clear why the main page doesn’t show the preview image……
Surprises
When we visited the Umpqua River and Toketee Falls it was bright and sunny. That’s normally a good thing visiting a river. As a photographer, it’s hard to deal with. I found myself captivated by the light, colors and patterns in the shadows. Somehow the fern in the river managed to keep its composure as I moved my camera around, a happy accident in this case :)
I must have paused my pan just long enough to capture the ghost of the fern, still among the swirling waters of the North Umpqua.
Crater Lake, Diamond Lake and central Oregon
We managed to escape the noise of July 4th, and met up with new and old frineds camping at Crater Lake:
I’m playing with the format, so may re-do this. meanwhile enjoy a few photos!
I’ve never paddled on Sparks Lake before- it is a fantastic place to go! There are interesting lava formations, coves to explore, flowers and birds to watch, all with the backdrop of Broken top and South Sister to one side, and Bachelor on the other. Excellent!
