Storm!

Near Tillamook watching a rain shower move up the coast. (This is a 4 image panorama.)

Haystack Rock(s)

A moody pair of shots from north of Pacific City. Great clouds and the high winds really kicked up the foam!

The Coast

Spending a week at Pacific City, OR. Not a bad place with lots of rain and wind with intermittent good weather as in the photo. Image quick edited using picnik.com.

Black as Snow

I found *THIS* covering my trees when I came home the other night. :-) Snow is a great thing! We see little of it and I can not get enough.

Not really. Just our (light) golden retrievers out for a snow romp.

Drove up to the snow today

A bonus shot today.



(No, this is NOT B&W. There are colors there......)

Snow Plow



Update: The Back Story
The road grader was in a night parade in Salem and was on display for a "Parade Glow" the next night. It just happened to snow a couple inches while we were there and I grabbed this shot. There are a couple more of the snow, etc on my monochrome blog, www.bwpc.wordpress.com

Barn on the way home

Good contrasting light with dark background sky. Not too bad I hope......

On the Prowel

Taken at the Oregon Marine Aquarium, Newport, Oregon. I was in the walk through tube in the shark tank. I took a lot of shots to get this one and it is still not the best. It was very cool how the sharks were silhouetted against the light above.

One More Mushroom

I hope the fungus fetish hasn't fouled your fascination. :-) This is an interesting (to me) study of light. I had the sunrise on the left, a little fill from my camera square on and a large back fill on the lower right. I like the effect.

When Mushrooms Mature

The last of these huge beauties. The largest of these stands about ten inches tall and eight inches in diameter.

Giant Mushrooms Revisited

I'll never forget

I had been waiting nearly a week for this mushroom to pop out of the ground. Here is is! I made this capture of it and wanted to go back at night with lights to set a mood. About an hour after this was taken it was destroyed by a couple of kids. :-( I had never seen this type of mushroom before so was heart broke, but found more later and I'll post soon. They are a beautiful flower on their own.



On a side note, these are not only pretty but toxic and use as an hallucinogen. They used to feed them to Reindeer to make them "fly" (jump really high).
