(10 insets!) On to Campground #3! Steve and I began our second RV Covid Trip a few weeks ago with a week at LaPine State Park. We then moved on to Detroit Lake State Park, and have now changed our moveable home's location to our third stop--L.L. Stub Stewart State Park! I'm dreadfully behind in my picture uploads and posts but this is actually something I want to do. I've always been so focused on posting and processing pictures, commenting and writing, that it really made me a nervous wreck. I also didn't make the best companion to be around either. It's very nice to be more relaxed about everything. It means that I don't post as much but it's much better in the long run! Even though I had another set to post from Paulina Lake at Lapine, I really need to move on to Detroit Lake...so here we go! One of the nice changes to the slower pace of our travels now is that I have time to relax and chill out with my macro lens. I like to devote at least one day per campground for close-up photography and wandering around the rock-strewn beach of Detroit Lake was a wonderful adventure! Along with a few pictures I'm sharing from my 100mm lens, I am also including a bunch of pictures I got with my Sony while walking on the campground's marvelous perimeter trail. My main image is one of the lovely Columbia Coreopsis flowers that grew in colorful clumps at the rear of the beach. They were just so beautiful and I spent a lot of time enjoying their lovely details. Insets Include… …a picture of Detroit Lake with a cloud-laced Mount Jefferson in the background. You can also see the boat-accessible bathrooms on the lake which we thought were a very nice feature. Detroit Lake is eleven miles long and there is another boat-accessible bathroom at the other end! …a fun dof-bokeh shot of a cable attached to a string of floats that were on the shore …a kayaker who was trolling for fish one morning …a dried Columbia Coriopsis flower with a bud in bokeh behiind …a plump red berry and a pair of leaves from a flower I cannot remember the name of! …lovely little Bird's Foot Trefoil flowers that I found at the rear of the beach …texture-laden tree trunks on the park's 2.7-mile perimeter trail I walked each morning …one of the spiders I found along the trail. I was pleased that my Sony could manage this macro! …a Beach Strawberry flower opening up …a Beach Strawberry blossom Thank You!
