Eagles & Salmon in the Oregon Cascades

A beautiful November day in 2007 at a High Cascades Mountain Lake with Kokanee Salmon spawning up a creek and Eagles feeding heartily!

Gorgeous younger Golden Eagle launching from perch:

What a day! Special "Thanks!" to my good friend, Pat Windsor (www.windsorphotography.com) and his dog, Sage, for the fine company!

Bill Clinton Stumping for Hillary in Bend Oregon

On Monday, March 31st, 2008 - Ex President Bill Clinton graced Central Oregon with a visit while campaigning (stumping) for his wife, Senator Hillary Clinton.

I missed getting into the Bend High School gym by about 50 people, or so. Stood by the back exit with a couple hundred other yahoos, in the freezing cold and wind for almost 3 hrs while it got dark, so flashes were a plenty when ol' Bill paid a very quick homage to the frozen, wiley crowd.

Bill finally exits the gym's back door - just before he shook my (frozen) hand:


Elvis has left the building:


Bill stooping down talking to some Bend, Oregon children... "and if you're a good little girl..." (sorry ;)


Well, we don't get out much here in ol' Bend Oregon! But photographing Ex President Bill Clinton was kinda fun. No political agenda for me... just shooting pics!
