Item information:

Silly Oregon Planet Convergence (I was more than ready to shot the convergence on Solstice but the weather didn't cooperate, so I added the convergence of bathroom light and its reflection to a shot of the spot I wanted to see and photograph the convergence)

SIltcoos Stars and Planets (Before they really came close together)

Slow Foam and Surf (I'm taking a photography course through the Photographic Society of America and one of my assignments was to shoot using long shutter speed. I liked the way the foam that was there that day formed swirls)

Stars and Planets Just Past Sunset (The stars aren't as sharp as I would have liked because my hands were freezing by the time the stars came out and the person I was with was in a hurry to leave)

Stream Is Full (We had 7 1/2 " of rain in about 4 days and our little stream was full)

Sunny Day Lighthouse (I'm taking a photography course through the Photographic Society of America and one of my assignments was to demonstrate my understanding of using depth of field. Here I used a narrow aperture so as to have the whole shot in good focus.)

Thor's well (I was wanting to shoot the Milky Way using my new toy...a star tracking device...and wanted an interesting foreground. Jim and I climbed down the stairway and paths to the viewpoint of Thor's Well. Thor's Well is a local blow hole which is very dangerous to shoot up close. Both camera gear and photographers have been lost there with sneaker waves. I have no interest in risking my life so we stayed safely back and I ended up liking the little river better as a foreground than the blow hole)

Thors Well Milky Way A Slightly Different Perspective (I was wanting to shoot the Milky Way using my new toy...a star tracking device...and wanted an interesting foreground. Jim and I climbed down the stairway and paths to the viewpoint of Thor's Well. Thor's Well is a local blow hole which is very dangerous to shoot up close. Both camera gear and photographers have been lost there with sneaker waves. I have no interest in risking my life so we stayed safely back and I ended up liking the little river better as a foreground than the blow hole)

Three Harriers (We took a day trip to Finley Reserve and got to watch 4 harriers hunting over the meadows. I wasn't able to get all four in the same shot but I was pleased getting three)

Unknown Bird (Not a great shot but if anyone knows who it is, I'd love to know. Taken at Finley Reserve)

What Would You Do With (There is a challenge on one of the photography sites I post to where they give you a photo and you edit it in a creative way. The original was the trees and the structure and I decided to create a tsunami)

Annas Stretching Her Tongue for Bugs (It was raining and there were lots of bugs)

Avocado (I'm taking a photography course through the Photographic Society of America and one of my assignments was to demonstrate my understanding of using depth of field. Here I used a wide aperture to create focus just on the stem end)

Bald Eagle Flying (On the South Jetty trail)

Bald Eagle Taking Off (Walking one early morning at Washburne beach, Jim noticed a bald eagle sitting in a tree a long ways down the beach. I shot at a distance and then more as I got closer. When I was just below the tree, I saw him move his bowels and knew he was about to fly. I got a bunch of shots as he flew off...in some his wings got cut off because he was too close for the focal length!)

Buddha with Ring (I'm taking a photography course through the Photographic Society of America and one of my assignments was to demonstrate my understanding of using depth of field. Here I used wide aperture to focus the attention on the ring and have the stature be more blurry)

Bufflehead (Waxmyrtle Trail)

Bufflehead Gathering (A friend let me know that the fields south of town were flooded and had lots of birds. Unfortunately they were too far away for good shots)

Bufflehead In Flight Reflected (Waxmyrtle trail)

Common Golden Eye (A friend let me know that the fields south of town were flooded and had lots of birds. Unfortunately they were too far away for good shots)

Eagle On His Tree (Walking one early morning at Washburne beach, Jim noticed a bald eagle sitting in a tree a long ways down the beach. I shot at a distance and then more as I got closer.)

Embosser (I'm taking a photography course through the Photographic Society of America and one of my assignments was to demonstrate my understanding of using depth of field. Here I used a wide aperture to focus attention on the tip of the embosser)

Eyes Right To Watch the Takeoff (On a pond South of Gardiner)

Fallen Extended Canvas 2020 (I really liked this shot when I took it on a bitter cold foggy day on a volcano in Hawaii and went back to reedit it)

Fog At Sunset (Taken at home when I saw the eerie colored light)

Fog Over the Railroad Bridge (South of Gardiner)

Gyanyin with Textures (Just for fun)

Holman Stars (This time of year it gets dark early enough for me to still be awake but it isn't very often that the nights have clear skies. This night was!)

Hooded Merganzers (A friend let me know that the fields south of town were flooded and had lots of birds. Unfortunately they were too far away for good shots)

Hummer On A Wire (You know how I can't resist hummers!)

Hummer Taking Off (You know how I can't resist hummers!)

Mallard Coming In For A Landing (A friend let me know that the fields south of town were flooded and had lots of birds. Unfortunately they were too far away for good shots)

Mallard Giving A Speech (A friend let me know that the fields south of town were flooded and had lots of birds. Unfortunately they were too far away for good shots)

Northern Harrier Flying Over Field (Taken at Finley Reserve)

Northern Harrier Has His Eye On You (I was thrilled to catch him so close. Taken at Finley Reserve)

Northern Shoveler Male (A friend let me know that the fields south of town were flooded and had lots of birds. Unfortunately they were too far away for good shots)

Northern Shoveler or Cinnamon Teal? (A friend let me know that the fields south of town were flooded and had lots of birds. Unfortunately they were too far away for good shots)

Northern Shovelers (A friend let me know that the fields south of town were flooded and had lots of birds. Unfortunately they were too far away for good shots)

Northern Shovelers and Cinnamon Teal? Or Two Female Shovelers and One Male (A friend let me know that the fields south of town were flooded and had lots of birds. Unfortunately they were too far away for good shots)

Outlet Sunset (I love this spot but we haven't had the most wonderful sunsets this month)

Portrait siltcoos stars (Another view of the stars and Milky Way at Siltcoos Outlet)

Ring Necked Ducks (A friend let me know that the fields south of town were flooded and had lots of birds. Unfortunately they were too far away for good shots)
