Deschutes Golden Stone
Dinner for Walter...

I finally bought a small Cannon camera that can take macro bug shots... Outside of getting cool shots like this Deschutes River golden stonefly, I've been taking mega close pictures of the weirdest stuff... A few days back I may have seriously offended a frog by getting a little too close! Yesterday I found one of the biggest rattlesnakes I've ever seen while trout fishing the Deschutes. Needless to say, I was temped to go macro but decided zoom was a better choice.
