Triangle Park Between Autumn Storms

Triangle Park is located between Siskiyou Boulevard, Iowa Street, and Morton Street

When I previously used a D7000 and Tokina 11-16mm lens I enjoyed experimenting with sun stars. I haven’t found a lens that did them very good on full frame, though, until I tried yesterday with my Nikkor 20mm f/1.8g. Bingo!

Click here for a photo of Emigrant Lake on 4/27/14.

Fast forward less than six months, from nearly the same spot, and here is what (once was) Emigrant Lake now looks like:

Ashland sunrise before the storm

About 10 days ago we had a rare day full of rain in Ashland. Before the rain began, the sunrise was rather spectacular. I was a minute or so late on this photo to catch the wave that formed in the sky, but you can sort of see a less impressive version of it here.

Bear in the neighbor’s yard

149_3026 RAW bear ashland

A few days ago my wife noticed this bear which could be seen from our backyard. The bear went for this apple that had fallen from the tree. Although we see signs of bear activity frequently, this is the first one I have actually seen in the neighborhood since five years ago when we saw this other bear.

We were invited to a friend’s farm in nearby Talent for a BBQ on the 4th of July. While there we met their goats, the friendliest goats I have encountered.

Delta Ponds (Eugene, Oregon)

I spent this past weekend in Eugene. While there, I took a walk on a lovely morning in Delta Ponds City Park. Next time I’ll have to bring a longer lens to capture some of the wildlife that is teaming in this place. If you look closely you can see some ducks in the center of today’s photograph.
