Saturday Self-Challenge: Things That Fly or Float
(+2 insets!) (please view large for even more detail!)
We had originally planned to visit two other places on our Central Oregon Trip, including a two-day side trip out to the coast at Tillamook and a four-night stay at Detroit Lake State Park. Because of our transmission snafu, we ended up turning our four nights at L.L. Stub Stewart State Park to 11 nights and cancelling our other destinations. However, we did end up adding a different destination for our last five nights: Diamond Lake!
We'd discovered this place on the way home from my birthday trip last year. We'd headed up to Sun River for a few glorious days of hiking and biking at the end of September and on the way back to Medford we had enough time to stop off at a spot along the way that we'd only driven past before. There was a 10-mile paved path around this beautiful lake which seemed like the perfect distance for a brief stop. That trail turned out to be one of the most delightful we'd ever had the pleasure of riding on and we wanted to return and repeat the experience.
I'm happy to report that going around Diamond Lake again was equally fantastic on our second time around! During our stay we also went on another bike ride and a long hike, along with two days of fishing! The RV campground we stayed at was super too, with a wonderful forest setting and lots of birds and other animals to enjoy.
I went out with my macro lens one morning and got hundreds of neat images as I strolled along. Part of my wandering took me down to a small, lazy creek clogged with logs which emptied into Diamond Lake. There I found all kind of cool subjects by the water, including damselflies! My main picture today shows my lucky close-up portrait! I have an inset which shows the whole damselfly. Unfortunately the light was low enough that I couldn't get a proper full-dof image but I'm still very happy that I got such a nice, crisp image of its face. This guy was so brave…I just kept creeping closer and closer until I stopped because I didn't want to scare it away. I managed to get a dozen pictures that were crisp, hooray! :) And what luck…today's Saturday Self-Challenge is all about things that fly or float! :D
(I'm also sharing an inset that shows the creek so you can see how filled with logs it was! The creek really seemed more like a pond but there was a culvert which led under the main road there and emptied into Diamond Lake)
Pam, it's wonderful to be in communication with you again--I've really missed our little back and forth conversations! Best of all, I'm so happy that you are so understanding that I won't be able to post pictures every day when I'm away. It would have been nice but you know how it is! :D *SENDING BIG HUGS YOUR WAY!*

J'aime beaucoup le petit ruisseau du PIP 2, bien encombré de tronc d'arbres et qui effectivement doit être un endroit privilégié pour cette demoiselle et ses congénères ! Un beau travail Janet, je vous souhaite de passer un bon dimanche !
et merci pour ta contribution à mon groupe
que tu as rejoint

Very well taken Janet.

deine Bilder sind Große Klasse.
It seems to have become a lucky thing that your RV had to be repaired so it meant you staying at LL Stub Stewart State Park for a longer time, because this meant you were able to explore more places and see wonderful things.
Earlier this past week we had a gathering of mayflies mating! I had never seen so many in my life! We have had a lot of wet weather over an extended period of time, so ponds and drainage pools were at a high; that is all I could imagine that would cause this vast population! I took photos of the phenomenon and will post them soon!
Fab capture!
