Classical Eagle and Gryphon

Portland, Oregon ~ August 7, 2010

This eagle and gryphon can be found on a building across the street from Pioneer Square. I did not desaturate or do anything with the color. It's straight color from the camera. Interesting, eh?

An Eagle Watches Over Crater Lake Resort

Crater Lake Resort, Oregon ~ May 8, 2005

Someone with carving tools and an artistic bent thought it would be nice to perch one of the local bird species permanently on a living tree in the forested grounds of Crater Lake Resort near the resorts cozy cabins and picturesque stream. Real-life bald eagles enjoy this territory, too. I think what I like best about this photo, though, is the mushrooms growing out of the tree trunk occupied by the eagle. It seems to say, "This is Oregon, and it is wet." I really love all the water we get here. Blue skies are a treat, but a rainy day is a delight as well. Oregon is for wildlife.
