This image was taken above Valley Falls, Oregon from a U.S. Forest Service hang glider launch site. Abert rim is on the right side.
Abert Rim in Lake County, Oregon is one of the highest fault scarps in the United States. It rises 2500 ft above the valley floor, finishing with an 800 ft sheer-sided basalt cap. It was formed during the Miocene epoch.
Great day at the Christmas Valley Sand Dunes managed by the Lakeview District BLM office. This image is made up of 8 images across that were stitched using Photoshop CS6 and 5 images deep for the HDR edited with Photomatix Pro. I also used Google NIK Color Efex 4 to get a more pop in the color.
Great Day in the Office!
Bighorn Sheep climbing along Abert Rim in South central Oregon in Lake County. Abert Rim and Lake Abert are both great places to find wildlife. These public lands are managed by the Lakeview District of the Bureau of Land Management.
Great week in the field - Here is a shot of Lake Abert that I shot before the snow fell. Great place to go and photograph in Lake County, Oregon 20 miles North of Lakeview.

Spent the Thanksgiving weekend in Santa Cruz, California. Great times, chasing the sun…and a Honey Bee at Natural Bridges State Beach.
The red fox - (Vulpes vulpes) photographed in a snow storm in early fall looking for a quick meal on the edge of Yellowstone National Park on the east side toward Cody, Wyoming. The red fox is the largest of the true foxes and the most geographically spread member of the Carnivora family.
Abert Lake is a large, shallow, alkali lake in Lake County, Oregon, United States. It is approximately 15 miles long and 7 miles wide at its widest point. It is located 3 miles northwest of the small, unincorporated community of Valley Falls, Oregon. The lake was named in honor of Colonel John James Abert by explorer John C. Fremont during his 1843 expedition into Central Oregon. No fish live in the alkaline waters of the lake; however, its dense population of brine shrimp supports a variety of shorebirds. The lake is also an important stop on the bird migration route known as the Pacific flyway.
Decided to go macro this weekend.and spent my time looking at the small stuff. With summer coming to an end I watch the bugs, bees and other flying creatures get there fill in the flower garden.
The American bison, also commonly known as the American buffalo, is a North American species of bison that once roamed the grasslands of North America in massive herds, became nearly extinct by a combination of commercial hunting and slaughter in the 19th century and introduction of bovine diseases from domestic cattle, and has made a recent resurgence largely restricted to a few national parks and reserves.
These Bison were photographed near the Biscuit Basin in Yellowstone National Park.
Biscuit Basin is one of three basins that make up the Upper Geyser Basin. Biscuit Basin is famous for the stone formations that surrounded some of the features prior to the 1959 earthquake.
