Sweet Creek Falls

Sweet Creek

This falls complex is beautiful any time of year but absolutely amazing at high water. Mapleton, Oregon

Sweet Creek Falls

In the summer this is a quiet little bridal veil fall into a dark pool. Not so at high water! Mapleton, Oregon.

Hidden in Plain Site

If you're just driving down our highway, you'll likely miss this hidden gem. It's set in a crevice just a couple feet back from the road. My husband discovered it while chugging along on his tractor. Deadwood, Oregon

The Slides

The Slides

This is just below a popular summer swimming hole. It's named the slides for a channel behind this one, out of site in this photo, runs over long sheets of smooth stone, perfect to sliding down on your butt or in a tube. This channel during the warm months is most often dry. Not so in the winter. Triangle Lake, Oregon

Lake Creek Falls

Bit of a rock scramble to get this photo but worth it. This whole water complex comes alive this time of year. Triangle Lake, Oregon

Across the Creek

This is on the neighbor's property, but they can't see it unless they jump into the creek. So we kind of consider it our own private waterfall. Deadwood, Oregon

Our Backyard this Morning

Fuffy by the Creek

Old Barn

I've been meaning to photograph this barn for a while. I finally stopped on my way into Eugene last weekend. Each place I've lived has had a theme, and Oregon seems to be offering me up a crapload of beautiful barns. Greenley, Oregon

Tempi

She's useless, but damn, she can pose. Deadwood, Oregon

Chillin' in the Morning

Five horses and a goat just hangin' on a dry day during the winter. Deadwood, Oregon

Foggy Field

Had to stop for this moss covered tree on a foggy winter morning. Triangle Lake, Oregon.

Enzo

Nothing beats purple cosmic dust. Gilroy, California.

A little cosmic dust never hurts. Gilroy, California.

October Moon

I was trying to take a photo of the crescent moon (yes, that's a crescent...that part didn't really work out) when my sweet baboo started the car and turned on the lights (on his way to his firefighter meeting). At first I rolled my eyes, since he "screwed up" my long exposure. But in the end, it made for an interesting composition. Deadwood, Oregon.

Good Day Sunshine

Fuffy enjoying a sunny day. We're now in the rainy season, so more often than not, there's something wet coming out of the sky. Makes for a bit of a cranky doinker. So when the sun is shining we try to open up the gate and let Fuffy and her crew graze the whole property. Deadwood, Oregon
