Sunset - Lincoln City, OR

We spent a few days in Lincoln City this week, and even though it was cloudy the whole time we were there, we had a few minutes at sunset one night where there was a small break in the clouds. 

Earth Day 2010

I celebrated Earth Day today by photographing spring emerging in my backyard.

Cherry Blossoms * Cottage Grove, OR

There's nothing better than cherry blossoms against a clear, bright blue sky.

Morning at Cottage Grove Lake

I was underexposing and using my graduated neutral density filter to keep things a bit on the dark side and so I could keep some of the richness and saturation of color. You can also see that I was having fun playing with my star filter.

Spring Flowers!

The spring flowers have finally started to appear in the last week or two, and I actually had a clear day today that gave me a chance to get outside and take some pictures before the blooms start to fade. Here are a few of my favorite shots from the morning.

Just a few shots from our first snow day of the season.

Fall color

I was in Hood River a few weeks ago and I had an opportunity to get some great fall color shots from around town. These are some of my favorites.
