Zoo Photography Tips

It was a cold and cloudy day. A bit of rain was falling occasionally mixed with a spattering of snow. A perfect day to go to the Oregon Zoo!
Why not wait for a beautiful sunny warm day to go to the zoo? Because that’s when everyone in the greater Portland metro area goes to the […]

Orchids

It is that time of the year again when cold weather and gloom are running rampant. However, it is also that time of year when my orchids feel the need to perform. This January two of my ten orchid plants have decided to bloom. It’s always exciting when they bloom because I never remember the […]

Storming the Castle

This photo is of a keep, called Kärnan, in Helsingborg, Sweden. So… yeah, not technically a castle, although there used to be one. I was going to climb to the top, but at the time I was lacking the 6Kr. required to do so. I don’t think I was missing too much as there was […]

Nyhaven at Christmas Time

During the week of December 16th, my husband and I took a last minute trip to Sweden and Denmark thanks to the company he works for. Our first day was spent in Copenhagen Denmark before heading up to Helsingborg Sweden for the next five days. This photo was taken in Copenhagen at a place called […]

As They Fall

Happy Thanksgiving to all those who celebrate it. To everyone else, may you have a wonderful day!

Fuzzy Weeds

I think this is one of the more colorful weeds I’ve seen. My only regret is not getting all the fuzz in focus. So it goes. I think it still works fairly well, despite that.
We were up on the east side of Mt. Hood, on the road up to Lost Lake, and stopped to take […]

Happy Halloween!

My husband was actually the one that took this photo, but I was the one who carved them. I can make some carving templates if there is any interest. Post a comment or email me: thefuzzyslug at gmail dot com.

Moo?

They were all hanging out by the fence, like loitering teenagers on a Friday night. They eyed me wearily as I approached, glancing at my hands to see if I had come with an offering of veggie scraps. If I had only known that was all that was required, the ensuing carnage could have been […]

More Fall Goodness

In honor of this gloomy wet northwest day, I decided I would post something bright and seasonal. This is another shot from the trip we took up around Mt. Hood the last weekend of September. This particular shot was taken just off the road near Lost Lake, on the east side of the mountain. I […]

Skull

It must be that time of year again. The weather has developed an edge, green things are giving up the ghost, and dead things are coming out of hiding. Halloween is getting close. Can’t you feel it?
I didn’t do much post processing to this image other than tone down the saturation a bit. The wood […]
