Winter on the North Fork of the Willamette: Oakridge, Oregon Rest Area

Last Friday, the day prior to Christmas Eve, we were headed to Eugene.  Stopping at one of our regular stops, the rest area south of Oakridge, I walked to the boat ramp and snapped a few pictures of the silver frost.  Here they are:

Oh, what gorgeous shots--I love rivers in winter. I always love rivers, but the beauty and danger of the fast moving, freezing cold... but that frost--just gorgeous!

Just by the look I could tell it's very cold. My fave is the last photo. Happy New Year Kathy and to your wonderful hubby and family. ^_^

It has been such a joy, Kathy, to watch your photography skills blossom. You've got a natural talent!

Are you looking for info about Tyler Matthews?

The 2012 Army All-American Day Event


Photo Source: Nike "The Opening Brochure" Pages 2 and 3
During the week of July 5-9, 2011, Cary and I were privileged to attend "The Opening", watching quarterback grandson Tyler Matthews (#43 the first day, and #15 on game days) play with 150 of the best high school football players in the United States. The event was held at Nike World Headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon. I hope that you enjoy the pictures ... some are better photos than others, but I tried to capture as many kids as I could.

There are approximately 500 photos in these slide shows. They are of the players, the fans, our family and everybody/everything that caught my eye. They are in chronological order. No names are on the pictures, even if I do know who people were.

As time permits, I will also be writing blog posts about my experience as a spectator. Since I still have a lot to learn about football and this is not a sports blog, I'll write some human interest stories as seen through my eyes. That said, Tyler Matthews, YOU ROCK!!!!
