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

Never photographing these before. I was quite happy to find these high up in the Ochoco Mountains of Oregon. We found a area of wildflowers blooming and stopping to photograph all the wildflowers in that spot, then thought we should head up to the higher elevation and did so on a narrow dirt road until we came to melting snow. This is where these were blooming along with some other wildflowers. Noticing a lot of elk and it looked like the horses use the area as a resting place. Wild horses in the Ochoco Mountains is a common thing. Such impressive flowers!

Best Way Photographing The beauty of Flowers - Photography is a visual communication media that conveys thoughts of a photographer, a message and a story with a touch of shooting. This article will review and summarize the tips and tricks on how to capture the beauty of the flowers that we often encounter every day.

I thought this thistle flower looked pretty cool with just the ring of flowers left on it.

Irene Mei is a graphic designer and photographer from Ukrain. She have developed the passion for shooting nature four years back when she developed into a photographer from a graphic designer. She works hard and have a lot of tours and photowalks with her colleagues to learn and shoot landscape and nature. Accroding to her "You get closer to nature, start to better understand the life of different creatures and notice even small weather changes. The world gets bigger than you thought.". Her squirrel pictures are outstanding and attractive. This is no doubt an art photography of squirrels.

When it involves newborn photography, it's thought of to be an awfully tough scenario. It's expectedly thus as addressing somebody WHO doesn't speak are a few things that poses an enormous threat to traumatize.

Young girl nude on webcam show her thin body and little tits - Teenage girl indeed are looking for identity, and always wanted to know about all things, either about him or anyone else. but sometimes their young mistakenly perceive it. like this young girl, she likes to be naked in front of the camera, or webcam, whatever thought this girl. Indeed, it is pretty tempting too, but she is still a minor and not worth doing anything like this.

Mule Deer Doe. Bow hunting is in full swing now, but this doe was just resting. Not as many hunters out as we thought there would be, so it was good for me for photographs!

Sparrow Birds Working For Their Meal . I admit, it is ridiculous the money we spend on the wildlife here. The gardens and such to attract the wildlife so I can photograph them. I justify this expense as entertainment, for really Guy and I can sit for hours just talking and watching all the wildlife we work so hard to attract to our place. We stopped in at the Madras Livestock Auction where they opened up a feed store. We need bird seed in big time bulk. The sparrows are the main birds we feed here, but without the sparrows the other birds would not be attracted. As soon as we walked into the feed store we saw this seedblock. We thought this would slow down the birds a little, making them work for their meal. It has, and offered me a great photography opportunity! We are more than happy to try out such products if, and I mean if, it is cost affective!

We have several of these herons around this part of central Oregon. I would of thought they would leave when the snow started falling, but this bird proved me wrong! It was foggy, it was cold and it was snowing Sunday! But here this bird was!

We went down to a boat ramp parking area, which was empty due to the snow and just the weather conditions I am sure. Started hiking down to the cold canyon water in the snow. The dogs and I were first on the little, slippery, snow covered path. I heard the loudest splash and first thing I thought was the dogs jumped in the icy water! Why would they? They are dogs! More......

The travel in Yunnan. Yunnan is known as has "strangely 18", but I thought that Yunnan's anything is strange.

This pair of Bald Eagles have been hanging around one of the lakes here for a couple weeks now. Saturday we had snow again, which is not a huge surprise. We took off in it and thought it was not a good idea to go down into the canyon so we headed in the direction of this lake. This pair of Bald Eagles we both agreed they must of came down from the Cascade Mountains for the better fishing and all around prey on what I call the flats. Not sure what others around here call this area. I call it the flats for one can actually walk it. I trekked out into the snow to capture these photographs. The one that is on the left is keeping it's eyes on me, that one seams to be the dominant Bald Eagle and the first to fly. The other followed.

I am very pleased to get these shots of this Northern Harrier. I got these a couple hours ago down the road where we have seen this bird and another or so in a pasture. These birds have been seen on private land and I do not trespass so when this opportunity arose today, while this Northern Harrier was not on the private land I took it! While doing my research on this bird I came to realize why this bird of prey had a problem being still for me. Blending in is what I try to do with the environment, but being quiet is another story. This bird realize on hearing as much as sight when hunting. This bird was hearing me coming! The male and female of the species look very different I found out as well. This Harrier is the male of the species. I thought this Northern Harrier was on some prey, however after looking over the photographs it appears to be on some grasses.

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.

This is a colorful Hawk I captured with my camera down the road one day. I have been stocking the store and thought I would put this up today since I have not put anything up in a couple days.This is the next to go into the store.

Sunday I headed to our ponds to see what was going on. One of the boys was going after something, I thought it was the frogs and I do not like them going after the frogs. Much to my surprise it was not a frog the dog was going after, but this baby starling.

For a couple days now this little girl has been showing up. When I first saw her I thought what a funny looking bird. Now that I have watched her for two days now, I feel rather sorry for her. It is our fault these birds are being altered like this, or this is the way I see it. Chemicals are more likely to blame.
