2010, Day 59 - Whitaker Ponds Natural Area

There were plenty of waterfowl around but they were spooked when people started cheering at an athletic field nearby.

2010, Day 56 - Tranquil City Park

I had an errand to run in Wilsonville so I stopped at the nearest nature park I could find to snap a few pictures. As I was leaving I drove my a dilapidated barn and couldn't resist the feel of the old weathered wood.

2010, Day 53 - Angry baby birds

As I was taking a walk yesterday around sunny Hawthorne this seed pod fell, barely missing me. To me it looks like the hungry mouths of a couple dozen baby birds, sightless and knowing only their hunger.

2010, Day 52 - Sunny Sunday

The sun was out and with my camera in hand I found more flowers. I love the simplicity and beauty of the magnolias and when I found another I decided to take another shot.

2010, Day 50 - Night blooming magnolias

Okay, they're not really night blooming but they are starting to open. Just a couple days ago they were all buds but with the warm weather everything is flowering early.

2010, Day 46 - A Portrait of Trouble

This monster is Hubert and he if often the subject of photographic experimentation because the lights and the camera don't intimidate him. While he may look angelic he is the trouble maker in the house, he races from room to room, playing, barking, and generally making a nuisance of himself. All of this energy makes him either the most fun dog in the house or the more trying but tonight he's been a sweet agreeable boy!

2010, Day 45 - Wandering through Vista Hills

I had about ten minutes in Vista Hills between appointments and there were a lot of hellebores in full flower, daphne, even some Oregon grape.
