Chinese Geese

We went and wandered around the park for a while this afternoon and ran across a family of Chinese Geese that were pretty well behaved and didn’t mind the sound of the shutter clicking at them.

View From Kelly Butte In Springfield, Oregon

A couple of five image HDR shots using the 8mm Rokinon fisheye lens. I was using the 40D for these so the image filled the frame. This view is looking East towards the Oregon Cascade Range. When the clouds are not backed up you can see peaks The Three Sisters from this location.
