Cannon Beach Again
Very similar to the one from a couple of days ago, but I like this one too. One of these days I’ll learn how to process black and white shots properly, adjusting the RGB channels and all that.
Cannon Beach (Haystack Rock)
This is from Friday’s jaunt to the seaside. Cannon Beach was looking as lovely as always, Haystack rock, if that is its real name, looked suitably emblemic, and the light, ah the light was golden and gorgeous.
We’ve got visitors
Having a fine old weekend with friends from Mexico staying. Here’s a quick pic from yesterday’s expedition…
Title: Self-Portrait. Medium: Nissan Altima
Who knew that you can press your face into fresh powder snow on a car and you get an insanely detailed imprint. I couldn’t bring myself to do this to the dog so I tried it myself.
If we weren’t heading off out so soon I’d try for a fuller recreation of Han Solo Frozen in Carbonite…
The Fugitive
Taken surreptitiously as I wandered through a very pretty golf course that was 100% free of golfers for a change. Hope they don’t mind the size 11 foot prints across their well-tended putting greens…
Escarcha
There was frost in the garden, and probably if I’d been inclined to go further afield, it was elsewhere too. Couldn’t resist a few pictures… Here’s one 😀
In other news, I’m starting to make navigating this phlog a bit easier. Phase one is an archives page which will display 77 day’s worth of thumbnails for your viewing pleasure.
Looking across the Willamette
Nothing much to say about this one, but what do you reckon to the google map? Worth persevering with?
I love the smell of Bokeh in the morning
Bokeh in Wikipedia…: Bokeh (derived from Japanese boke, “become blurred or fuzzy”) is a photographic term referring to the appearance of out-of-focus areas in an image produced by a camera lens using a shallow depth of field.
It’s a catch-all term commonly employed in the expression, it’s not blurred, it’s bokeh. This particular shot was just happenstance since I’m buggered if I’m lying facedown on the frozen lawn to take a picture at 7am on a Sunday and happened whilst holding the camera down by my shoes and hoping for the best.
Splash
While backing up this years photos I noticed I hadn’t put this one in my phlog yet. It’s one of a series of waterfalls out down the Washington River way, and is due for a revisit very soon cos it’s been bucketing down of late.
Peter Kerr Park
If I’d had a tripod I could have tried HDR for this, but as it is I chose to concentrate on the reflection of the sky and underexpose the rest. I like the fringe of autumn trees too… What do you reckon? Comments are welcome, as are ratings.
Sellwood Riverfront Park
Looking over the Willamette River from here (Google Map) in Sellwood, Portland, OR. An area noted for its plethora of antique shops and Tacoma Bridge, held together by glue and prayers (probably).

On reflection
Alameda has its quiet bits
Come on in…
…the water’s warm, and there’s a bottle of tequila floating nearby somewhere.
Reflected in Lake Patzcuaro
Early morning in Michoacan…
Lago de Sayula
Seasonal lake on the way to Tapalpa from Guadalajara.
Cola de Caballo- Horse’s Tail Waterfall
Cola de Caballo waterfall just North of the city limits of Guadalajara on the road to Zacatecas.
South side of Lake Chapala
The largest lake in Mexico’s at record levels right now. In the good way. A good a reason as any to go fishing.
