Devil's Punchbowl

It’s been a few years since I discovered Otter Rock between Newport and Depoe Bay. Somehow on previous visits I totally missed Devil’s Punchbowl (not to be confused with Devil’s churn in Perpetua). At high tide, flushing the punchbowl:

PESO Drift Creek Falls

I found House Broken on our way to see Drift Creek Falls. I’m glad that I stopped, because it turned out that the road from the South to the trailhead was closed due to a landslide. Several days later we went there by way of Lincoln City. While I’m not 100% satisfied with my results from

Yaquina Bay Sunset

A couple days after I arrived in Oregon, I missed by the length of time it took me to find a pullout to park, the chance to photograph the setting sun through the Yaquina bay bridge. Over the next several weeks I tried multiple times, usually to have too many clouds on the horizon to get the

A few weeks of birds

I am finally going through and catching up with my backlog of photos from my trip North. I put all of my unpublished bird shots in one album. There isn’t anything super special in there, though some decent ones. Most are from Oregon, though the turkeys and peckers are local, and were shot

Thanks Ann. When she was 7 years old she was drawing dogs that were quite realistic. I asked her if she traced them, and she said, “no grandpa, I know what dogs look like.” Paul > On Apr 25, 2021, at 3:51 PM, ann sanfedele wrote: > > Good going, Gracie! > > ann > >> On 4/25/2021 3:10 PM,

Catching up with Gracie

Since last you saw her, Grace has become an accomplished artist/illustrator. At 16, she gets some commissions. She was working on this for her portfolio. (She hopes to enroll in a major art school when she graduates in August, a full year ahead of time.) As you might expectGrandpa is proud.

I’m thinking the K3 iii might be a good choice for me to supplement the K1. I had planned on waiting for the K1 iii, but the APSC camera might be better fir bird photography. The Nikon D500 seems to be the first choice of birders currently. Long reach, quick autofocus and modest weight. Paul
