These steps in the Yaquina Bay Lighthouse were old, creaky and didn’t really go anywhere, but the view from the top was cool!

A popular shot, but I took it anyway. It was a great day to be at Cannon Beach, the weather was warm, there were a few clouds in the sky and the water felt just fine.

On a long drive down the Oregon coast I saw a small island with this one little tree on it. I think the crazy clouds in the background really pull the image together.

The top of this fern was pretty, but the underside is where all of the attention to detail was! Each little group of seeds has so much going on.

This cool old bridge was fun to walk through, and the way the light was outside gave the exit a pretty cool effect.

Meet creepy dude. He has red eyes, bad hair, a big nose, and likes to hang out in Portland. He is probably auditioning for the leading role in the upcoming movie Saw VII. We crossed paths and he allowed me this one shot. I think I nailed it!

I’m convinced that this is the best yurt at South Beach State Park in Oregon. It is called the Lewis and Clark Yurt. There is a short walk up a little hill to get to it, and it has a private deck that looks out into the tree tops. The ocean is nearby and made for some great sounds to fall asleep to. A little light painting with my headlamp on this long exposure gave the yurt a cool color!

This isn’t the typical view of Crater Lake with deep blue sky and water, but I still like it. The ominous clouds and almost grey water make the scene a little spooky.

These flowers were very tiny but had great details. I really like the look of the little buds bursting out of the center.

On the south side of Crater Lake I found this unexpected little waterfall called Vidae Falls which was surrounded by wildflowers. I was here later in the day when it was overcast, so this little waterfall was almost as good as the lake view itself.
