Ducks and Geese at Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden

Posted on May 30, 2008

Codi and I recently visited the Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden in SE Portland. It’s 9 acres of rhododendrons and other flowers, but the most obvious attraction is the small lake and the hundreds of ducks and geese.

Betwen the two of us, we took about 300 photos. Here are a few samples – flowers to come soon.

Sample Slideshow – Polar Bears

Posted on June 20, 2007

I wanted to test uploading video clips to the website, so I thought I’d start with a slideshow. It’s a quick run-through of about 1/3 of the polar bear photos I took this last weekend. The images will probably go by pretty quickly like a flip-book. Enjoy.

(Now that I’ve seen the video clip, I think the 1 second transition is a little sloppy, but hey – it’s just a test.)

More Fun at the Oregon Zoo

Posted on June 18, 2007

Codi and I took a break Sunday morning and went to the Oregon Zoo. We like going there because we’re 99% guaranteed some good photos. Here are a few that I took. Codi will have some good pics to share soon.

Cougars asleep in their den. How frikin cute is that?!

This polar bear went swimming under water to find some fish pieces.

The polar bears had a wee little argument over who would get to chew on the fish-filled ice blocks. The big guy in the water won – several times.

Awesome bald eagle!
