Scouting Trip

Cougar tracks in the Park found in the fresh snow yesterday morning.

Night Time Raider

Raccoon tracks in the driveway this morning.

Winter Rainbow

The lake is starting to melt fast now. Temperature has been above 32°. Raining this morning.

Turkeys

These guys were outside Elgin.

Watchers

Bald eagles have been enjoying the births in this field between Joseph and Enterprise.

Waiting For Summer

Boats at the marina wait for summer to return. I like the lonely orange and yellow one.

Snowshoeing this Morning

Remington runs along the snow sniffing out small treasures as the thin fog creeps along above him.

Ice Fishing and Tracks in the Snow

I took the dogs for their morning jaunt above the Park and as we came down toward the lake, I saw these 3 guys out ice fishing. They remind me of the movie "Grumpy Old Men", without the fist fighting and ice shacks.

Common track in the snow!

Vegas looks like a little predator.

Elk Near Ladd Marsh

This isn't exactly at the Lake, but had to post it anyway!

Snowy Travels

Snow showers at the Minam State Park turnoff.

Horses in the Fog

This is actually in Enterprise where the horses are pastured.

The fog was thick and the temperature was about 13° at 8:00 am.

Tracks

Vehicle tracks next to my snowshoe tracks

New Snow

Ice fishing on the lake.

Light & Shadow

My foot prints in the snow made interesting shadows.

I enjoyed the way the light from the porch bathed the huge tree in a bright glow. An owl lives somewhere in the Park and likes to call out after the sun sets. It's so quiet during the winter season when there are no campers, and all I can hear is the water in the river bed and the owl softly hooting.
