Mule Deer Doe Jumping and Running. We see many mule deer here. This mule deer doe kept my attention on her so the others could take off running. When they were out of site she took off running and jumping too!

I observe things. I caught one of the barn cats running off from me and the horses yesterday. The domestic cat , like other cat species, is very graceful. Very agile. I feel only in still photography can one really see just how graceful and agile they truly are!!

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

Thousands of people in Taiwan took part in the first "color run" festival on 28th of September 2013. That was just for fun and about 15000 people took part in it.

Running Creek Up In The Ochoco Mountains.

I pay a lot of attention to Ravens. Some of my best photographs came to be because of the ravens. Ravens are really just a big crow. They are a very intelligent bird, which I guess some can argue with. They work as a team. As a family unit and are very bold creature. More than one raven is called "An unkindness of ravens", I can see why because wow can they drive off the biggest of creatures! There are ten species of the Raven with two more that are said to be extinct. The Magpie appears to be tolerated by the Raven, though they too are finally ran off by the bigger Raven. The Magpie we have here are very smart birds, though I really do not "listen" to them as I do the Raven. After seeing the all the Ravens in a small clearing it did not take Guy long to stop the truck and off I went into the brush. Guy seen a little of what the Ravens were doing, this was running off the eagles. There were two eagles. One was a big Golden Eagle, the other was a young smaller Bald Eagle. Many of these two species of eagles are showing up together these days. I have not noticed this in years past, but this year WOW has this been obvious! The Golden Eagle standing on the prey is the first thing we noticed after the Ravens. The prey I could not identify. Did I want to identify it, not really!! It was white and it appeared to have died some time ago. One thing people do not understand about Eagles, the Golden Eagle and the Bald Eagle is, they will take a meal whether they themselves hunted it down, or if it died by some other means. Eagles will do their best to steal prey as well. The species of eagles are opportunists. They can be scavengers. The Raven were doing the best they could to run off the Eagles, but the Golden Eagle was having no part of being ran off by Ravens! The young Bald Eagle was trying to grab some of the meal when I was getting close, but took off up into a tree to watch. These are the photographs of this event.

That time again for the farrier to come over and do my geldings feet. I have only had one person do my gelding feet his whole life. My gelding does not hate this process, in fact he gets loads of attention! I thought when I got my young stud colt the best thing I could do for him and me, is teach him when he hears my whistle to come.

For the last six years photographer Steve Garrington has spent countless hours documenting the oceanic events surrounding a single lighthouse in Porthcawl, Wales. Built in 1860, the lighthouse itself is pretty run-of-the-mill, but the events that unfold around it as stormy winds sweep in from the Bristol Channel are anything but ordinary. Because of the point's unique sloped design, crashing waves are easily launched to extraordinary heights, especially during bad weather. It's a wonder the structure is even standing after all these years. You can explore more of his photography on Flickr, specifically his waves album.

Tips Avoid Blowout Caused by Flash - Do you are ever run into trouble when using the built-in Flash on the camera? Are the photos you produce 'Blow-out' and you feel a flash was too strong so that the object become over? What to do when it finds a situation like this? When we try to visit in the image share sites like flickr, there are many who experience this condition (blow-out), and indeed most of the photos were produced using a pocket camera or a Point and Shoot. Why pocket camera? Built-in Flash because pocket camera features minimal controls, either on flash power or flash light power and setting the direction of light. Unlike the External Flash on DSLR camera that can be directed to our liking. Here are some tips on using the built-in flash on the camera point and shoot or DSLR you can do: Think of Built-in Flash as your secondary light source Always position the flash as a secondary light source, surely there must when shooting ambient light is not it? Ambient light is the light that is in shooting place, such as light bulbs, solar light and others. Ambient light is important for your picture, remember that light is natural light in the location shooting. Use the flash as a light source support and never used as a primary light source, and if you are use the flash as the main light source you will see the light in the photo is artificial (artificial light). Try as much as possible to keep the ambient light or ambient light. Back one or two steps The simplest way to reduce the impact of the light coming from the flash, is to increase the distance between you and the subject of the photo. In previous articles, we have always been advised to approach the object image, but in this case if you are too close to the object will be too bright because it was hit by a flash of light coming from the camera. Many of the photographs 'blow-out' because of the distance the photographer is too close to the object image.

Good quality real estate photography is widely considered to be the second most influential factor. The businesses of real estate and a small investment in hiring the services of a professional photo editing agency can go a long way in improving their financial returns.

It is no news that real estate businesses have become heavily reliant upon quality pictures to keep running smoothly. About 6 years back, The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), declared that "listings with nicer photos gain anywhere between $935 and $116,076" in comparison to those that have low quality pictures, or no pictures at all.

Spiders Web Over The Creek. We ran upon this creek that was still running pretty good. I like spiders web, there neat !

Central Oregon Field Burn. People were asking about my dragonfly photo, and how I was getting the bugs to stay still. Predators will wait for bugs or critters to run from the fire. This is the neighboring farm to the land our horses are on. This goes on every year! It is controlled and really it is either this, or chemicals.... I guess. For us with allergies it is not the best thing.

Our mare is so funny to watch. She is running to my gelding to see what he is doing.

First thing we seen last Saturday is this herd of Elk. They were pretty close to our little town! They were laying down in this farmers field. But when they noticed someone giving them attention they started getting up and getting nervous. The morning was very nasty weather wise. Snow was falling, it was foggy and I really did not want to see the elk running in this weather. These all look like bulls. These elk we have here are very..... shy? Paranoid? In the field they had nothing to hide behind.

One thing about wildlife, they still have to get out in the weather and do their thing. Saturday we got snowed on. Wildlife was still doing their thing. Here are some of the mule deer photographs. Now the buck did not run, but he did not think it wise to stick around either. I am very happy that my canon camera has a nice body for this extreme weather!! My poor camera!! It gets rained on, snowed on, than we have the other extremes of high, dry temperatures here in the high desert.
