Photos: For the Birds

Here are a few more bird images. The hummer is a Rufus buzzing around our backyard Bee Balm, which they seem to love. Staking it out for 30 minutes resulted in several nice shots, but I had to use manual focus.

The woodpecker is a juvenile Downey that was hopping around an apple tree. My wife spotted it. But, so did the scrub jays which chased it off.

Last image is a daddy quail and his brood. Shot out the car window as they skittered away into the sunset.

Photos: July 4th Baseball

This past July 4th we had our annual local baseball game. Here's a few shots of Richie's Market vs. ???

BUT, more importantly this weekend is Da Vinci Days '06 in Corvallis, OR. If you look at this year's brochure I did the image under "Races & Reverly" along with another photo on the official web site.

Photos from this year's race coming soon ...
