Trashed House

Sunday, September 7th, 2008

While out taking vineyard photos today, I came across an old house that had been nearly torn apart by harsh weather and vandals. Funny thing is that the house is so far out in the country. It's hard to imagine vandalism happening out there. Bummer. Cool photo, ...

Argyle Winery Visit & Vineyard Photos

Thursday, June 5th, 2008

I headed out to Argyle Winery yesterday to take some photos of the vines and grapes. It's still pretty early in the growing season, but things are looking pretty nice. Here are a few shots (out of 70+). Most of the photos were of Chardonnay vines.

Ducks and Geese at Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden

Friday, May 30th, 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 ...

Snowbirds

Wednesday, January 16th, 2008

Codi and I just got back from a few days in Florida - our annual Christmas Part Deux. We had a good visit, spent time with family and shivered a little in the unexpectedly cold weather. Of course, it's now 25 degrees out in Portland and snowed earlier ...

Lavender Fields in Oregon

Tuesday, July 3rd, 2007

Codi and I went to the lavender fields today with the GvL family. We picked an entire basket full of various types of fresh lavender, dodging hundreds of bees who were equally interested in the flowers. We'll dry the lavender and hang it around the house.

Portland Rose Gardens

Codi and I went to the Portland Rose Gardens to take some pictures. It's one of our favorite spots for photos, so we look forward to it all winter and spring. Of course, when we got there, I snapped my first shot and realized I'd left my memory ...

Sample Slideshow - Polar Bears

Wednesday, June 20th, 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 ...

Evergreen

I was making some BBQ shrimp last night (in the rain) on our deck and I noticed that the light was hitting an evergreen in a particular way that made it sparkle. I got up close and noticed that the sparkling was due to tiny water droplets that had been ...
