My dog, Misty, gazes at the birds in the sky. Misty and I spent a day at Foster Lake and every sounds made her alert. Misty is a half pug and half whippet. (close up)

Foster Lake has a couple of bridges but this one has a beautful relfection on the lake. You can also see that the lake is low compared to the summer time. During the summer, teenagers and adults jump off this bridge for a rush and fun. (overall)

Since the tide is so low at Foster Lake you can see many dead trees and lots of worn and weathered rocks. Even though its not warm outside, a trip to Foster Lake was relaxing and breathe taking. (medium)

Neighborhood

The Point restaurant is the nicest place to eat out in Sweet Home.  The delicious food, exceptional service and good pricing isn't the only thing great about this place; The Point also has a beautiful view of Foster Lake. (LANDMARK)

Disobedient children play and climb on Weddle Bridge by the Sankey Park in Sweet Home. Shortly after this photo was taken, the manager of Sankey Park made the children leave because there are signs posted about not climbing the gates. This bridge was built in 1980s in Crabtree, Oregon then moved and rebuilt to Sweet Home in 1989 because it became a hazard in Crabtree. (NEWS/FEATURE)


Jon  Farthing works at OK Country  Feed and Supply in Sweet Home Oregon. After looking at my camera and back at me, he agreed to let me take pictures of him as he got the goldfish I paid for. Jon and another coworker at this store went to LBCC too and were very interested in what I was doing. (ENVIRONMENTAL PORTRAIT)
