DJ and I drove out to the Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge in Washington. It’s a drive-thru bird refuge. The upside – it’s wonderfully full of birds. The downside – you have to stay in the car. Yeah, that part was annoying. Hard to take photos from the car given you get the angle you get. Oh,…

I love the rabbit. He’s a riot. Plus has great hare. (Pun intended) To take this photo, I put on my flash for the first time ever on this camera. Not too bad. an icy shot of the abandoned house in central Oregon.

They built the new building around elements of the old building. I love how they preserved the old and the new. Inside the eco-trust building again. Old Armory Theatre. After years of walking…
