Me for the vertical, but I'm feeling a lean to the right. Quite lovely!

What a breathtaking series.

What a great remembrance!

Looks tilted, but otherwise a real beauty.

Thanks, folks for stopping by!

This is original the pioneer home (circa 1850) of Joseph and Grace Latourell, among the earliest settlers along the western end the Columbia Gorge in Oregon. A small town developed around their home and was named to honor its founders. The community became a “social center” for much of the surrounding country. Settlers gathered at Latourell’s store and at the saloon to meet neighbors and hear news from the outside world.

There are locals who say Grace, looking for a lost guest who stayed overnight following a dance at the Latourell home the night before, still haunts the home.

Congratulations. Very good capture and sharp focus. They're very quick and very special little creatures, wondrous to behold. Be careful what you feed hummers. There a lot of stuff in jelly besides grapes. Is that jelly on his beak? Be safe and stick with uncolored nectar.

I love your work and look forward to seeing it almost every day. Please keep posting.

I just love your treatment of these images.

They are small and really hard to catch. Just try focusing on there eye - nearly impossible.

As a musician myself I especially enjoyed this set. The trumpet player comes closest to home. Great job!

What a great use of B/W.

Tell us about that background.

You will never get me up in one of those things.

Love it!
