It wasn’t much of a week for photography and I fear next week will be worse but I did get fascinated by the play of light and fog on the hills outside my window and ran outside with camera in hand for a few minutes. I did a little cropping and added some luminence and… Continue reading Fog on Mountains

Wood Duck
I have wanted to see and photograph these beautiful birds ever since I knew of their existence. So, when I read that wood ducks like to hang out in Lithia Park in the winter I could hardly believe it. But I packed up the new camera anyway and headed right down there. I got out… Continue reading Wood Duck
Summer Flowers
It’s that time of year when it is hard to find a good weather window to go out and shoot and the over 5000 images I have in my files from this year are nagging at me. So, this week I started the process of sifting through and deleting those with no redeeming value and… Continue reading Summer Flowers
Mount McLoughlin
One of the things I’ve missed most in being away from Oregon is the beauty of the snow capped Cascade volcanoes. Southern Oregon’s own Mount McLoughlin has been looking pretty sad and bare all summer but now the snow has returned to the higher elevations and the Mountain is looking quite glorious on this rare… Continue reading Mount McLoughlin
Autumn Leaves
I had to take another trip to Lithia Park this week and it was still stunning though perhaps past peak. I wanted to share a macro image in contrast to last week’s landscape though I again had many beautiful images of both genres to choose from. Beautiful as these leaves were they were a little… Continue reading Autumn Leaves
Van Gough meets Lithia Park
I thought that being in the throes of moving I had completely missed fall color this year but a post from a fellow photographer alerted me to the fact that Lithia Park in Ashland was still putting on a pretty good show. It was hard to pick an image of the week there was so… Continue reading Van Gough meets Lithia Park
Acorn
I have been up to my ears in unpacking and feathering my new nest this week. So, I came up empty on the image of the week front. So, this morning I decided to put everything else on hold and go for a camera walk. I had in mind an old barn I had seen… Continue reading Acorn
Windows
It wasn’t a big week for photography between resting on my laurels after completing the 100 days project and last minute issues with the completion of my new home. I did spot these natty awnings in downtown Medford where I was meeting a friend for dinner and the evening light couldn’t have been more perfect. … Continue reading Windows
Day 100 – Buncom
And so it comes to a close. I shot this image at a wide spot in the road called Buncom which really just consists of 3 abandoned buildings. It was kind of grungy because I had to shoot through a dirty window so I thought “Why not take it a little further?” So I added… Continue reading Day 100 – Buncom
Day 99 – Provolt Store
Here’s another one from the Applegate Valley. I admit I hoped at the time that trip would give me enough images to finish out the project. The processing challenge on this one was that I wanted to give it a painterly look but I still wanted to be able to read the 7up sign. After… Continue reading Day 99 – Provolt Store
