Wallowa Lake, Oregon has been my home and my place of business for 20 years.

Starting March 22, 2010 I decided to share some of the Lake's personalities that I have expirenced. Sunsets is the title of the first album stored under the Wallowa Lake Oregon Albums. As times moves on, the albums stored under this Album will grow.

Getting eye to eye with the flowers. Composing. Focusing. Choosing the exposure. Waiting for the wind to calm. Triggering the camera with the remote release. Repeat. Repeat. Change the perspective (as John Shaw said: "Move the tripod !!!"). Do it all again. Things required to record the images seen by my mind's eye.

All that after finding the flower in the first place.

The photographs in this album are divided into location. The season is also included for each flower. However, seasons can vary dramatically from year to year in the mountains. No promises that on the same date each year that if you to hike the West Fork Trail, or take the Wallowa Lake Tramway to the top of Mount Howard, that a particular flower will be there. That's part of the adventure of the 'Flowers of the Wallowa Mountains'.

In the Spring of 2010, Doug B and i traveled 900 miles South to spend two weeks in Death Valley, Ca. Over that time we hiked no name canyons, climbed a well known mountain, and explored places familiar to most visitors. The albums in this section are divided  into each hiking day.
