Part 3 of the Danube River photos is all about the Magyar Cowboys in Hungary. Their ‘ranch’ is about 15 minute drive from the river, and they put on quite a show. Fancy riding, great horses, and 3 generations of cowboys in the show. The youngest stole the show! Weather was extreme for their show…
Part 2 of the Danube River cruise is all about the river itself – especially the narrows where the river goes through a gorge of limestone cliffs and caves. Bridges at sunrise either done or under construction showed the human impacts recently and in several places old Roman forts still confound ‘how?’ On the river…
Leaving the woods and entering different human worlds’ images sometimes make no sense, sometimes make me wonder “how did they do that?” …. Cruising the Danube River from Bucharest to Budapest with a stop in Istanbul found these roofs photo worthy. The contrast and similarities in architecture through the three religions (Islam, Orthodox and Catholic)…
Thursday was a cold rainy morning with promised sun in the afternoon. A good time to hoof it around Pre’s Trail and Alton Baker Park to check on the nesting herons. Started around 11:30 and returned by 3:00. Wore wind-shell the entire time and used an umbrella once. That promised sun was just one of…
I changed cameras several months ago, and collecting the best from the old camera seemed like a good idea. From the original 35,000 or so photos, these are the ones that were printed into a picture book or downloaded here in .pdf quality. (I found if browser .pdf viewer allows single page or slide-show view…
A grey, cloudy but warm Sunday … perfect for flowers All photos within blocks of my front door … Spring is surely coming!
I went back along the Mill Race today to check on the Great Blue Heron nest building. The trees, creeks, and odd things all had herons. Maybe 20 during the 3 hours. Progress on the new nests was null – nothing. I did check the old ones again too – empty. This one heron on…
Walking around town on a sunny war mid-50s February day early hints of spring were everywhere. Oregon snowpack is ~30% of average and thankfully a big rain storm is heading this way next week, but things still seem early this year. (Remember opening an image shows better resolution – the flowers especially) Near home flowers…
It’s January 12 … some Rhodies working to bloom and daffodils are coming up in the yard – not just sprouts, but blooms Roses are blooming though they look a bit tired / warn out. And a real surprise … while the bugs have had a feast, it’s still blooming or blooming early btw, all…
I short walk yesterday to Alton Baker Park and there were flowers still hanging on, or coming out early – only they would know. clicking a photo opens in higher resolution
