Hoar frost covering barren trees near Scio Oregon

The Stayton area continues to be a icy white realm. Today’s eerie but gorgeous image comes from guest photographer Jim Mullholand, and showcases the weather quite well. His description:

Temperatures in the 20′s combined with persistent fog for several days has left a thick layer of frosty ice on all the trees creating a winter wonderland. This was taken on the SW side of Franklin Butte just south of Scio.

Be sure to visit Jim’s web site for more of his beautiful photography. Thanks, Jim!

Guest photographer Jim Mullholand caught this duck in a rather interesting pose. His description:

This was taken at the pond by the park-n-ride next to Hwy 22 in Stayton. I was just taking photos of random ducks and this one started flapping its wings. I think it had been grooming and was drying off.

Very cool. Thanks, Jim.

Bald eagle bird on a post in Albany Oregon

Guest photographer Jim Mullholand scored a beauty with today’s photo. Here’s his extremely long description:

Bald Eagle near Albany. He flew right over me and landed on a pole.

That Jim, can’t get him to keep it short. For those wondering, Albany is a town about 25 miles southwest of Stayton. It’s close enough to Stayton when it comes to a photo like this. Thanks, Jim!
