coast

Thank God it's Friday!, this weekend I hope to get out and take some new pictures. But for now I rely on my archives.
The Oregon coast is one of my favorite vacation destinations. Here's a shot from a hotel balcony.

Sky Watch

We were accompanied with some extreme weather conditions on our visit to the grand canyon, including some snow. Along with the storms came these dramatic clouds.

The new barn

My two previous posts were of a barn that had collapsed. The owners built this new barn next to it.

One summer morning I rolled out of bed early to get a shot of the sunrise. Although the sun had risen far above the horizon, it was still hidden by a cloud.

odd leaf

One of the leaves off of a tree in my front yard struck me as being odd. The way the sunlight hit the tree made this leaf pop out.

Team of Horses

Today is the first day of October, I can't believe it! This is another six horse hitch from the Draft horse show. I admire the dedication of the owners/trainers for making a team like this look so good.
