“Peaceful Morning”

A somewhat chilly view of Fall Creek from the trail that runs above it on the hillside. Who needs a drone?

“Fisheye out of Water”

Intersection of Fall Creek and Timber Creek.

“Unnecessary Sign”

Fortunately there was a handy log just upstream.

“Frostmelt”

Walking the trail in bright sun after freezing fog resulted in millions of sparkling drops everywhere.

“Rebirth”

Spotted this one tiny mushroom while I was hiking through a completely burned area along Fall Creek.

“Escape”

succulents growing over the edge of a planter

“Spring Preview”

Spent some time in my yard playing with a new-to-me lens (Sony 1.8/35 SAM on an A58). Pretty noisy even at fairly low ISO but I got some nice macro shots with pleasing background blur.

“Butterflies in the Rain”

Another of Eugene’s many murals.

“Weathered Wave”

Architectural detail from Eugene Fire Station #1 with (obviously) some cinematic post-processing.

“No Parking Bud”

Possibly the most Eugene parking meter ever.

“Circle of Mushrooms”

These tiny little guys were only about an inch across all told.

8 tiny mushrooms on a tree trunk

“Pigs in a Tree”

I dunno, maybe nobody else sees round heads with snouts here.

“It’s Winter Dammit!”

There was just enough snow at the top of Spencer Butte for some dedicated hiker to build a tiny snowman.

“Spores”

Playing around with a new flash…clearly didn’t get enough light for noise reduction here, but I still like the feel.

“Tiny Dam”

I suppose it’s old tech by now, but I’m always amazed by image stabilization in modern cameras. This is a two-second handheld time exposure.

“Moss Garden”

“Over the Parapet”

Tiny mushroom at Mount Pisgah.

“Sea and Sky”

60-second exposure (with ND10 filter + in-camera ND5) turned this day of wind and surf into this dreamy image.

“Surfing Gulls”

“Dreaming Gulls”

The ND10 filter I was using at Bob Creek gave the original a horrible greenish cast, but reprocessing as monochrome it actually turned out OK.
