  • First Snow at North Falls

    First Snow at North Falls

    Potential for rolling fog called me up to the back roads yesterday, however, my focus shifted as the raindrops turned to powdery flakes. It was 11:45am, 33 degrees, this glimpse of North Falls faded in and out of clarity as snow streaked with the wind. An hour earlier this scene was merely wet and cloudy. An hour later and it was likely that much more wintry looking - although I was gone by that time. This first dusting of snow gives the park a very special seasonal allure!

  • Visiting Abiqua Falls

    Visiting Abiqua Falls

    It was cold and rainy as we bounced down a steep, rocky, and eerily foggy road in 4-wheel-drive towards a small trailhead. The trail was muddy and scattered with debris from trees shaken during recent heavy winds, but was made easier by anchored ropes to grab hold of (though just as slippery as the ground!). Tree cover eventually gave way to an open creek and clouds rolled overhead causing the glow of ambient light to rise and fade like a dimmer switch. We traced the water's edge over slippery rocks and limboed under felled trees, and for what reward?! A view like this - the mighty Abiqua Falls surrounded by a basalt amphitheater in the day's fading light!

  • Fall Burst

  • Riverside bobcat in Oregon

    Riverside bobcat in Oregon

    I was photographing the sunset at Minto-Brown Island Park on a quiet, stormy evening when a bush rustled at the water's edge just a few feet ahead of me. A creature slipped quietly through the vegetation; it had black and rusty brown fur, large paws, piercing green eyes, and black ears with long tufts. Through a gap in the plants I glimpsed a young bobcat eyeing me while sneaking upstream and disappearing into tall grass. I walked up the path and the little cat appeared again, this time it stopped to sit on a rock, have a yawn, and watch me snap photos. Quite a mellow mammal. The light faded as I watched the clouds and the feline slipped away, brining an end to our pleasant interaction.
