45th Parallel Photography

A huddle for a cuddle next to the puddle.

A female Rufous Hummingbird, with her flash of copper and emerald, poses mid-flight, just long enough for me to take her photograph.

This morning's dawn over the Willamette River at Walnut Eddy. Hebb County Park rests at the top of the river's curve while Mount Hood's peak, mostly hidden by clouds, catches the first light beyond the horizon.

Where sea mist softens the world and a mother-daughter walk sharpens what matters.
