At Sunset one night, I was hovering over the edge of a pond, waiting for some Ducks to emerge from the reeds. However, the Sun was setting fast, and I already waited a while. A Dragonfly flew over me, and I noticed that it landed nearby. I figured that I could move behind it and shoot into the sun so that the light would pierce through its wings. This is the result.

Nature Mood 02

Oregon Coast Spring 2026

During Spring of 2026 I took a short trip to the Oregon Coast. It was a perfect time to visit as wild Rhododendrons were blooming, something that is celebrated in the area. The City of Florence, OR, even has a parade and carnival as a part of their annual Florence Rhododendron Festival, or as the locals call it, Rhody Days. The blooms were a pleasant surprise as I wasn't aware of this special event ahead of time. It worked out perfect because my plan was to create Nature Mood 02 during my little visit. I hope you enjoy!
