Guest photographer Hugo sent in today’s interesting photo and information: This isn’t a great picture, and possibly not a very interesting one either.

Guest photographer Hugo sent in this lovely image of a… well, he’s not sure. His description: I took this at my favorite park as the sun was setting. I’ve never been able to figure whether she’s a duck…or a goose. She has the characteristics of both. As best as I can figure, she’s a “Guck”, More >

Today is part two of guest photographer Hugo’s sunset/sunrise photos (see yesterday’s sunset) from Wirth Lake in nearby Salem. He says: The “star” in the sunrise photo is actually the planet Venus, which is currently making its presence known in the early morning. I use Stellarium to locate the stars and planets. It’s a free More >

Guest Photographer Hugo sent in today’s stunning image, taken at Cascades Gateway Park in nearby Salem. His description: This is a picture of a homeless man in the park with well-worn hands.

Guest photographer Hugo sent along this very lovely photo. His description: I took this photo at my favorite spot in Salem…Walter L. Wirth Lake. The geese had been fighting for mating rights (typical male behavior) and this feather fell exactly as you see it. The plantain and the two flower petals just called to me More >
