Up close photo of the top of a fender guard fence post showing the dessicated and preserved rings of the tree, green with lichen growth, and the number 06 burned into the crosscut. Looks like a weird green spider web, but it's wood.
Picture of the John Day River from a large rocky bar that is most the year at least partially underwater. The bar is just river rocks, tons of river rocks, and takes up the whole lower half of this photo, the river crosses in the middle of the picture, wider to the left and narrowing as it flows to the right, and above that blue blue sky with lots of white clouds. To the right there are also golden hills.
Neat rock held in my hand with the shallows of the river in the background. Rocks submerged are visible in the clear water. Across the creek running along the top of this photo is the opposite bank shaggy with golden grasses, topped by a golden hill, and then blue sky. The rock is about the size of a small pear, and mostly a creamy orange colored but with a darker grey inclusion.
Another view this one upstream of the river from the rock bar. Rocks got form the bottom of the picture all the way across, angling to the left and ending in the middle of the frame where orange fall shrubbery appears hanging over the river. a little above center in this picture a horizontal band of distance brown hills goes across the photo, and then above that sunlit blue sky and white clouds. The river is just a sliver at the bottom right and then widens to take up most of the frame up to the middle of the photo. it reflects the sky and the distant hills.
Hard to chose just 4 pics for this, wish Bsky allowed for more. Ran to the river and back on a rainy day that turned sunny. Water's low enough I could access this bar and rockhound a little, but found nearly nothing but exceptional views. Jeez it was gorgeous #Rocks #Oregon #Running #JohnDayRiver
