New and Interesting Faces at the Aquarium

-
Last night Eric, Michael and Gaelen and I went to the Oregon Coast Aquarium to see the new exhibit, 'Claws'. As always, there are some pretty fascinating creatures out there. Here are a few of them:



This is a Tanner Crab. It almost looks like he has human-like teeth, and has a weird kind of evil smile on his face.


This is a king crab. I've never looked at their faces close up, they look like aliens. It's amazing how big they are, too.


This is a Moon Jelly. They are fascinating to watch.

For more shots from last night's aquarium visit, check out the "What's New" link to the right.

Have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!

Marshmallow farm?

On the way home from the Tillamook Forest Center last Sunday, Eric stopped the car so I could snap some shots of what looks like a farm that produces giant marshmallows. We watched the machine that wrapped these giant hay bales in white plastic. Why they do this, I don't know. To keep the hay fresh, perhaps? It is kinda fun to picture these things as giant marshmallows, tho.

I had the extreme pleasure of attending and capturing images at a very special wedding recently. I've known the family for some time, and always enjoy being around them, they are all just super nice folks. I did Karissa's Senior Portraits a couple of years ago, and we got some of the most awesome images... here is one of my favorites. And here is one of my favorite shots from the wedding. What a lovely couple! Congratulations, I wish you all the very best!

Road Trip! Part Eight: The Tetons

 From Denver, we headed up to Moran, Wyoming for a glimpse of the Tetons with their fresh layer of snow.  Here are some of the shots I got the day we arrived. We got up early the next morning and went horseback riding.  It was 23 degrees! What a blast!!   There's a magpie on the curb saying, "Good Morning!" Lots of horse's asses...  The horse ranch life... hot coffee, chewing tobacco and cigarettes, and lots of horses.  They have a herd of 130 horses and mules.  What fun!  Here is a link to the outfit we went with:   Grand Teton and Jackson Hole Horseback Riding - Teton Horseback Adventures This is Holly, the mare I rode. She really didn't like having her cinch tightened, but she was a really nice ride. And this is Little Snort and Margaret. Our lovely guide, Georgia.  She did a great job.  She HAS a great job! I loved riding Holly, she listened to me really well.  What a beautiful girl. Georgia took some shots of us ...
