Gorge-ous!

-
A recent roadtrip along the Oregon backroads to see some stunning fall color yielded some of these interesting sights...
A flock of wild turkeys - they were headed for the cover of the woods, making all kinds of interesting noises...
A beautiful wooded path...
Interesting fungi... And at a stop along the road to overlook the Columbia River Gorge, a raven stopped for a moment... it was dizzying just to watch him fly from so high up...
The view from up there... the drop off at my feet was several hundred feet and very unnerving to get too close to the guardrail...
The fall colors were just stunning...
And a surprise along the way, a herd of bison grazing on the hillside...
A parting shot before the sun went down, a highway bridge alongside a railway bridge... beautiful!!
Been down with the flu all week... ugh. Starting to feel better today I think, just in time for Halloween!!
I'll be doing costume pictures for Trick-or-Treat Toledo on Main Street on Friday and Saturday in the building newly known as Main Street Galleries, 305 North Main, across 2nd Street from Main Street Cafe. Hope to see you there!

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 ...
