Poppies and Bikes

Back at the beginning of August I went out in Marion County as I was told of some Poppy fields that might make some nice shots. It was a Sunday overcast morning for the most part and just as told to me this one nice sized field was there before me.

I took a number of shots looking over the field, some close ups and wide angle shots but I decided to post this one with some bikes floating behind the poppies and in front of some trees from another farm.

I had passed the cyclists earlier while getting out of Salem, but didn't expect them to come by the very place I was at! The field was beautiful and I am glad I took the time to go out there that Sunday morning! Will post more of these on my regular photo website and maybe some further along in this blog.

August is winding down! Thanks for stopping by for a few minutes. Tim -

Art Show - Independence, OR

Hi folks -

I have two pieces of photographic art being exhibited in an art show in a little town about 12 miles from my home. The gallery is 'River Gallery' and is located at 184 Main Street in Independence, OR. It is a nice little gallery and is owned/operated by (I believe) 15 local area artists. They also have associate levels and what I am doing at the 'visitor' level for the show.

Anyway the show is called Fur, Fins and Feathers so you guessed it! It deals with animals that have any of the three mentioned items. There should be some really great stuff to see so try and make it if you can and all items from all artists are for sale! Oh yeah, about forgot to say that it started on August 3rd and runs through August 29th with a public reception and jury awards announced on August 7th (Saturday). I believe they might have some wine and small snack items there, but there are also some really good restaurants on the same street! We could all make an evening of it.

Well, I included one of my two pieces and it is of three Big Horn Sheep Rams. The other shot is of a Bison just outside of Yellowstone Park that I got a few winters ago. Both are matted and framed and look absolutely wonderful in my biased opinion.

Thanks for checking in and if you get a chance to make it to the gallery great or even spread the news. Tim
