The Wildlife Safari Park has one of the premier Cheetah breeding programs in the USA. The big cats were quite active, but behind chain link fences (not great for photography) When entering the Brown Bear enclosure, we saw two huge males having either fun or a big disagreement. All in all, the Safari trip was a success and we had a very enjoyable day. Back to the hotel for the evening and up early the next morning for a trip East into the mountains to visit Crater Lake National Park. A very scenic drive up into the mountains along the Umpqua River which has some very nice rapids and wonderful vistas. One detour that proved to be very photogenic was Clearwater Falls, which was a short hike into the forest.
This waterfall was beautiful and we spent about an hour there. I did some experimenting with shutter speeds and the waterfall. Pleased with the results (still have some post processing to do…)
The lake is about 5 miles across and a drive around the rim takes a couple of hours (including stops for photos) I could not have asked for a more perfect end to this summer, 500 digital photos on my computer, and just a couple of more days to get them processed before hitting the books again!!! I have a full load of classes scheduled for Fall Term. It is now time to turn my brain back on for the coming school year. I am one excited Non Trad, I’ll be finishing up my Math requirements and diving full force into my upper level classes as a History Major at Oregon State University starting Winter Term. Sorry for the diversion from my Non Traditional Student faire, but this special couple of days was too wonderful not to share with my readers. Tomorrow, we’ll be back on the college life track again. Thanks for spending some quality time here with me.All entries, chronologically...
