Xmas 2006

The View
This is from the upstairs of my parent's house. When I came home from the army last year I spent the most of the month sitting on the couch, drinking Oregon beer and looking at the mountains. As the fog and clouds move in and away the entire scene changes.



Depoe Bay
Mostly me playing with my camera.Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture of the crazy, narrow opening to the harbor. It can't be more than fifty feet wide and it's surrounded by jagged rocks, some barely visible beneath the water. The only way I believed a single boat ever made it through there was the presence of many large ones on the other side, and there wasn't another opening that they could have come in from.






E.E. Wilson Wildlife Refuge
More playing with the camera. Dad, the dog and I came out here to walk and see birds. It had been raining and flooding a lot, as you can see, and we probably saw a thousand birds, mostly in the distance. Seeing as this place is, at most, fifteen minutes from my parents' house, I should go there more often.
