Swampfrog's Oregon Photography Tour

[mtnbiker]

Great pictures, as always. There must be either a trick of the light, or the sun really jumps right between pictures. These two pictures were taken about 2.5 minutes apart, yet the shadows in the first seem quite long, whereas the second seems shorter and more appropriate to the time of day.

I got nothing. I was shooting from the car, so it's likely I had the driver move where the sun was directly behind the direction I was shooting (which is my preference when shooting in the sun).

A marvelous bird is the pelican.

Could be that they are also marvelous, but mostly just a wonderful bird, but possibly a funny old bird also.

Wait a minute. You photograph birds but you don't know the limerick?

You might want to check the limerick for the use of the word "marvelous"...

What is that two-headed creature?

What type of animal is being consumed there?

What is that two-headed creature?

Pied-billed Grebe, though the reflection isn't as clean as I would like.

What type of animal is being consumed there?

Deer. Road kill.

Turkey Vulture extravaganza

That's a lunch pail bird if I ever saw one. Blue collar. Road kill maintenance. Get in there - get the job done.

you've managed to make a buzzard look noble.
And the sleepy owl is wonderful.
