2010, Day 217 - Blue and gold

I did a lot of running around today but on my way home from Estacada I stopped to take this picture. The clouds weren't cooperating initially so I waited for a little bit this is what I got. My timing must have been perfect because as I drove back in to Portland the sky became flat and hazy.

2010, Day 198 - Ranch warming

Today was my friends Deanna and Jared had their house warming party at their mini ranch in Estacada. The weather was great, the mosquitoes were turned away at the gate and all was lovely. There was extreme croquet on the lawn, cuddly goats, demanding cats, sleeping greyhounds and some awesome homemade cheese. I've been wanting to take a portrait of Deanna and Jared in this little creek and while I think the flash was a little too much I like the attitude.

While out in Estacada today I had the opportunity to explore a little wooded area along a seasonal creek bed.
