A Long Season Ahead

The Beavers lost again on Saturday which just tells me that this is going to be a long season. But lets not dwell on the negatives of the weekend. I'm back shooting for OSU!! Although this means a serious drop in my income because OSU Athletics pays next to nothing it does mean I get to focus on just taking good photos again. Here is what I came up with for my first week back.

Shadow Lake Forest Fire

Every year there seems to be a forest fire in the Cascade mountains, and usually pretty close to Sisters (my home) This year its the "Shadow Lake Forest Fire" (I've never heard of Shadow Lake) just south of Suttle Lake, and visible from Highway 20. A stretch of road I drive a lot, maybe too much. The last few times I have driven it there have been some great photos to take.

Oregon State vs Sacramento State

Standing around in 90 degree weather for four hours to watch Oregon State lose isn't something I would say I enjoyed doing on Saturday, but the photos from a very exciting game were worth the dehydration and sunburn.
