South Falls - Silver Falls State Park, Oregon


Falling 177 feet, this wondrous waterfall is Silver Falls State Park's most popular sight. If you look closely, you will notice a pathway that leads behind it..
..budding salmon berry blossoms add some color to all of the fresh spring green along the hike in.

Mother's Day Landing


On a walk with my daughter, we stopped at this beautifully-flowered Rhododendron bush. Shortly after, this dragonfly flew around and lit on the flower for just a brief moment.

I had time to snap two shots, and this second one was just right!

Vibrant Buttercup


Dragonfly


These little fellas are certainly hard to capture on film (or digital disk, for that matter.) After awhile of chasing them around a forest and grassy area, this particular one was tired and panting while attached to this twig..

Lilacs


On a morning outing with three of my ladies, this pretty Lilac was beckoning me to make it be shown - so here it is for you to enjoy!

Afternoon flight



A trip to the local school yard this afternoon presented some nice sightings of bugs and blooms. This particular bee seemed to be enjoying its surroundings..

Mt. Rainier


A recent drive near the west of Silver Lake in Washington revealed this view of Mount Rainier, one of this state's most treasured sites. This particular photo was shot some fifty miles away from this, one of my favorites!
