While deep in the Ochoco Mountains we ran across a nice flowing creek. I love running water and just had to stop!! Upon inspection of where we were it was obvious this spot had been used as a hunting camp. The legs of the elk and the "meat hangers" (we laughed for I am sure there is a real name for them ha) , that were nailed to the trees. The feathers laying around looked as if maybe a turkey was in the mix with the elk? Even a spot for a bathroom. Gave us this impression. Guy wondered further down the creek then I for things happen to catch my eye. So I was wondering around on my own taking shots of the ice that was found where the water was not running fast. As I was doing my thing I heard some racket that was obviously coming from the trees and from birds. As you can imagine wild creatures do not just sit still so one can snap off photographs, so off I went to get this loud birds photographs! There were at least 3 of these birds, however non of them were all that impressed with any of us there! From the information I gathered of this bird, these must of been truly wild Gray Jays!! Not yet ingrained with human presents. I first thought this was a nutcracker. We have many of those around so it seams. Same family as these Gray Jays, but so is the steller's jay,blue jay and the western scrub jay , the crows, the ravens there is a lot of species in the Corvidae family!! From the sub species of the Gray Jay and getting these photographs in the Ochoco mountains this determined these to be the Bicolored Gray Jay. One thing all these birds have in common is, they are very smart!! Smarter then humans give them credit for! Over the Cascade Mountains there is yet another sub species of the Gray Jay over there with different needs and habits. That Gray Jay does not like snow, the ones here better like snow! Like all birds of the Corvidae family, they are pretty much scavengers, however it appears all the species of the Gray Jay have different food s

We should love the nature and right now I would like to show you some of my favourite nature pictures

Landscape photography loved by each and every nature lover. Razaq Vance is one the fine contemporary creative landscape photographer . His work on Naran Valley Pakistan is amazing and stunning as for as quality and creative elements are concern. Valley is famous for its incredible beauty of lush green pastures and gushing rivers and streams rattling through meadows.

I like photographing such things, nature makes it's own designs and we need to do nothing but look.

I was doing something rather today when I ran upon some photographs I have not shown yet. I do have many of these photographs that have not had a write up about them, so I was in the mood to do this tonight. This was back in June and one of these photographs already has been on the market and in some peoples homes already. Not sure why I never did a write up of this series? I got my mare when she was a yearling. Really to keep my gelding company, however she is such a hoot and the camera loves her!

This past week has been CRAZY!! Crazy good that is! This is not going to be a post about one species, I captured way to many things this past week for that. So this is going to be a mix of photographs, a mix of adventures.

We were up in the Malheur National Forest last Saturday and got a couple photographs. Guy had planned to go to a spot for photographs where we would hike around. This was the first trip in our dodge ram we just picked up. Our chevy suburban is no longer and we like the Ram truck, but we really loved the suburban and of course it was paid off. WOW did things not go as planned!

Thistle weed is a very common weed. At one time we did not see thistle here in the high desert as we do now. It spreads very well. Mainly horses or cattle who......

Mare Horse. We were checking fence line and the pasture and she just had to follow us around.
