On Safari In Winston Oregon

Thu, 07 Jun 2007 21:50 -0800

I believe these are some Elk ( or is it Rosie O' Donnel? ) that we saw while going through the "Wildlife Safari" in Winston Oregon. I'm not so sure that you could call these animals "wild" but they are "more" wild than zoo animals and I did get a chance to see some beautiful animals on this trip.

Stellar's Blue Jay at Cape Lookout

Sun, 01 Apr 2007 21:06 -0800

While setting my hang glider this past weekend at Cape Lookout in Tillamook Oregon I spotted this beautiful Stellars Blue Jay watching the action.

I just viewed this image on another monitor ( LCD ) and realized that the noise is quite prominent... I guess I will need to modify my processing techniques a bit. For shots like these.
