When my daughter, son-in-law, and grandson were with us just recently, Marius drove us to Oregon Caves and, wow, what a sight.

Alex – The Ghost of the Forest

The second video from Alex and Lisa.

The video was produced on the 14th June, 2025.

Join us on an incredible Wildlife photography adventure through the wilds of Oregon, as we search for and capture stunning images of three iconic raptors: the Great Grey Owl, the Bald Eagle, and the Osprey. What was amazing is that we did not see another photographer whilst photographing these magnificent raptors! From dense forests to riverbanks and high mountain meadows, Oregon is a paradise for birdwatchers and wildlife photographers alike. In this video, we take you behind the scenes of our journey—tracking elusive owls, watching bald eagles, and photographing ospreys.

It makes us extremely proud to be living in this part of America!

The first video shoot by Alex is here.

Folks, that’s all for today!

Yellowstone

A YouTube video.

When my son, Alex, and Lisa, were with us in the second half of last month, they spoke of the tremendous joy they experienced in visiting Yellowstone before they came to us.

What a fabulous memory!

Recent photographs of Sexton Mountain.

When my son and his partner, Lisa, were with us, just over a week ago, Alex suggested that he and I explored Sexton Mountain; some three miles to the North-East, as the crow flies. Normally the final stretch has to be walked because of a locked gate across the trail. However, that day the last 8/10ths of a mile were driven. It was a beautiful place with that summit 3,833 feet above sea-level (U.S. Geological Survey).

We descended 200 feet to be clear of the overhead cables. This is the view looking towards the South; the road being the I-5.

It was a grand occasion.
