Stargazing in Central Oregon. Daniel & his father Walter swing on the bench & pick out the constellations in the midnight sky. It was the Summer of 1941 & in just a few short months, Walter would be called to service.

Smith Rock State Park
Oregon, October 2018
We stopped by Smith Rock on our way back home. At this point I was very sick so all I was able to do was walk around the view point. However, I am definitely coming back to climb/highline here!

Something new for 2021. Follow along as I go high up into the Ochoco National Forest and then head to the Tillamook State Forest in search of Bigfoot!
Nothing makes me feel more at home than the Clarno Basin, where I work 10 weeks out of the year. If it’s the purple ancient soil-turned-claystone of the Clarno Formation, the vistas of the Basalt-rimmed John Day Canyon, or the solitary Common Sunflower that blooms in the middle summer, it always beckons me back.
Top to bottom: What I call the “Purple Basin” above what we call Equisetum Canyon at Hancock Field Station, a lovely vista of the John Day Canyon, and a sunflower atop the ridge that forms the spine of the Clarno Unit of John Day Fossil Beds National Monument.

I just got back from a wonderful family vacation in Bend OR. I just love it up there! I have been wanting to capture Lenticular clouds for as long as I can remember, and finally FINALLY I captured my first one. It was blue sky all day, and we decided to head up to Sparks Lake to do some fishing, and swimming. I brought my camera gear not expecting anything, but you never know..Right? We got to the lake, and I saw that there was a large cloud, but I assumed it would evaporate at sunset. As time went on I watched this disorganized blob of a cloud develop into a photographer’s dream. I set up my gear, and started shooting a good hour before the sunset. It was windy, and the lake had a rough texture for most of the evening, but the winds calmed down for about 10 minutes, and I was able to capture a pretty nice reflection of this giant cloud. I kept telling my wife and oldest son how special this was, and my 16 year old son decided to throw small rocks in front of me, and into the lake ruining the reflection. You gotta love teenagers!! Despite my son’s best attempt to get under my skin, I was able to get this shot. Thanks for looking! 5 shot panorama in the portrait position, and focus stacked. Carl Zeiss 21mm
