| Mt. Hood taken from Wildlife Refuge Westside |
June brought a few opportunities to capture some photo's of Mt. Hood before all the clouds gathered followed by a few days fishing at Diamond Lake.

OK...my turn to catch a derby fish *my wife catches a fish that had 2 green tags-called and found out it was worth $100!!!
Boy was it good eats for lunch! |
 |
| Diamond Lake GREAT fishing hole! |
 |
1st catch of season-notice green tag....Diamond Lake $$$ derby fish sponsored by Blackhawk Grocery...
Way to go girl!! |
 |
| Quite the view... |
 |
| I'm ready...boys are too!! |
 |
| OK...this camping thing is NOT me. |
 |
| Yippee...I can explore! |
 |
| I know there is something in here for ME! |
 |
Dragonfly nymphs were everywhere!!
Nymphs were crawling out of the lake and would find a spot.
They grass blades were thick with nymphs..even my camp chair
had one!! Sorry...didn't have my camera with me:< |
 |
We happen to be in time for the migration of the dragonfly nymphs to emerge from the lake
transforming before our eyes.

Mature dragonfly preparing for first flight.
NOTE: ALL dragonfly pictures were downloaded from Google images-when I took my wallpaper machine to capture the actual area the next morning...I discovered that EVERYTHING from the activity area observed the day before was GONE!!! I was very, very sad...but what a life experience to observe this process while waiting for the fish to bite. |
 |
Storm brewing-of course this is when the fish start biting!!!
