Friendly Gull

Going to the Coast is like breathing fresh air for the first time, I hope that never changes.

A few last minute photos.

Feathered Friends

These are some of my favorite bird pics.

Umpqua River Trail to Hot Springs

I Love This Spot! Great for a Hike!

This shot was taken in Belize last January.

This was A Momma Osprey getting very irritated and very tired of me watching her every move to try and get a good shot of her in flight. She had some little one's in her nest, I could hear them but not see them. I must have watched her for an hour. Her screeching now and again to tell me she was not happy with me hanging around. I have seen many Osprey catch fish on the Umpqua River where I myself go fishing for Small mouth Bass. Any day on the river is worth while. Sometimes if you are lucky you will see a family of River Otters moving to a new location, playing with each other all the while. This is a rare site, but one that will surely bring a smile to my face. Haven't caught them with my camera yet.

Good Morning Sunday

I am having my first cup of coffee, waking up slowly, just enjoying being alive and healthy.

Rolling Hills

This was taken just outside of Roseburg.

Sweet Baby Ferns

I found these baby ferns growing on this rock face at cougar bluff today and thought they should be posted...

2010

Already half of a month has gone by this January, of "2010". My only productivity thus far, seems to be at work. Today I will go out with camera in hand, in hopes of finding something worthy of shooting. My wife thinks I have an eye for photo taking, I am not so sure of that myself. I do find it very enjoyable though! So here I go!

One Day, One Day...

Always have loved the idea of living on a small boat...if it just wasn't for those damn Hurricanes!

Goodmorning Sunshine!

Just a few "feel-good" pics I have taken in 2009. Enjoy the views...

Walk in the Woods

~~~Sometimes one is in the right place~~at the right time~~with camera in hand~~~ This photo was taken near Tokatee Hot Springs. Near Diamond Lake.

In honor of The Haitian People's......

The horrible earthquake that has taken so much life is devastating to me and my family, and for so many other people's of this Earth. We are praying for those who have survived this terrible event, those Families who have lost so very much, and for those who have lost their lives. It warms my soul though to see so much of the world reach out to give aid, and help in any way they can, to these people. It is with a very heavy heart that I post this to my blog. I wish the Haitian People Strength and Courage and most of all Healing. We are, all of us, Brothers and Sisters.

Look at That!

Walking on the dock in Bandon Oregon one day with my wife, my trained eye caught something. "Honey is that seagull crapping on our car?" Yep it is. She said back to me....

Lighthouse

Here is a look at one of Oregon's many Lighthouses. This one is on the north side of the Coquille River inlet. It's duties now have long since ceased, but still it stands as a beacon to what once was.

Rain

Good old Oregon rain. It rained all of last night. I love the sound of it bouncing off our metal roof. It lures one into a state of peaceful sleep. Good sleep comes easier when it is raining.
