Spectacular Skies and Weird Water
Around midwest lakes in October with temperatures in the 80s, the clouds, sun and water put on quite a show … Then, as expected, thunder storms rolled in during the night and the next day was nothing but fog …

Magyar Cowboys in Hungary
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…

On the Danube & the Romans
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.

Early Hints of Spring
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…
