Took advantage of some dry roads this morning to head to Bald Peak State Park. I should have worn a jacket as it *looked* MUCH warmer than ~30deg outside!

I’ve had my eye on this old barn right off Scholls Ferry Rd, and finally pulled over to snag a few shots ..

Harvest Moon

16. Sep, 2008 Comments Off

The moon was CRAZY orange last night, in case you didn’t notice :) IMO, this was much more spectacular than the Lunar Eclipse we had not too long ago.

Harvest Moon

update - found some info on the FOX12 Weather Blog about the moon last night:

Many of our viewers have been writing, wondering about the freakishly red full Harvest Moon.  It’s due to smoke from the Rattle Fire, near Diamond Lake in S.W. Oregon.  The flow in the upper atmosphere has turned southeasterly, sending a surge of smoke north.  The flow stays generally the same way through Wednesday, so I think we have a smoky/hazy day on the way again for tomorrow.

Rood Bridge Park

12. Sep, 2008 Comments Off

Started off an early Saturday morning with a drive in the vette, in search of a new playground.  Not so coincidentally, we chose the one on the other side of some curvey country roads :)   Just south of River Road in Hillsboro, OR, is Rood Bridge Park.  There are currently MANY improvements being made, with small streams flowing around, a frog pond, a nice play structure, nature trails, etc.
