CLICKING ON EACH PICTURE WILL ENLARGE THEM.

I Had a Chance to Hold my Camera, (and click a button or two)









 The ones above and the next one were taken in my daughter's yard and at the park across the street.



























These were taken near the University of Oregon at Mill Race Park.










These last few were taken in and near my own yard...the roses are mine, I can't believe how well they are doing seeing that I have given them no attention at all this year. I have been a bit busy :)

  3. Jan I always enjoy your images but in my opinion some of these are your best work, at least that I have seen. I love the first image and the one with the little geese, I think geese lol.
