Getting ready for the after walk nap

Just caught a rubber boa somewhere he shouldn’t have been. A couple candid shots before I found him a nice hidey hole

I would do pretty terrible things for an original print of this.

I give to you, one of my more valued things. Original 50s/60s rounded corner, fiberglass, Smokey the bear sign.

And dogs

And cats. Birds and cats.

Well this is my life now. I used to take pictures of mountains. Now it’s birds.

This little hummingbird finally found the feeder

Saw a rubber boa today at work. First time for me I was/am still giddy. Not great photo but didn’t want to disturb it.

Current mood

Couldn’t tell you where it was, but I lugged my Mamiya C330 there to shoot this on some expired film. #waterfallwednesday

There was a rainbow in my back yard this morning.

The right-of-ways can be quite scenic sometimes #forestfriday

The octopus tree #forestfriday

Don’t weld and grind in polyester, friends.

Beacon Rock, Columbia River Gorge. A proper #forestfriday entry. Sigma DP2 Merrill (the only digital camera I’ve fallen in love with)

Down by the old oak tree. It’s still #forestfriday if it’s just one beautiful tree yes? #Hasselblad 201f forgot the film stock and to put the tape over my dark slide.

Astoria bridge on my Texas Leica (Fuji g690 blp) on 100 tmax. Raw scan.

I climbed that!

Taken with a really old 500mm mirror lens

Great blue heron I got a nice shot of a few years back.

Making tortillas

Gloomy and delightful today

Reposting for #forestfriday since my wake and bake brain put two “r’s” in my post.

No thunder yet just a beautiful sunset

Super corgi dog thing… or Whatever she is.

She just went on her first camping trip

For anyone wondering, this is a pika, they are a relative of rabbits and live in higher altitudes on rock outcroppings they spend their summers gathering moss and grass to make their dens warm and cozy for the winter months.

You’ll have to really scan, but I finally sighted a Pika after looking for them for 5 years. Granted, I could have looked harder but none the less I finally saw one of the cute little guys. I just wish I had my SLR.
