Beauty from a Boxer's Eyes


In June of 2006, Sue, Deanne, Dave & I took a trip to Hogland in OR. During that great week, we had occasion to letterbox in the desert of central OR. Funhog threw an intimate gathering at her sty for us and we had the opportunity to finally meet the 4DToes who we had corresponded with over the years. Don and Gwen were with us that night as well. We also met Birder for the first time that warm evening in the desert where we all enjoyed a breath-taking sunset. He joined us later that week at Smith Rock State Park for a box-filled day. This gentle, kind man made such an impression on us.

Forward to a few months ago. I opened a Flickr account and within a week was contacted by Birder. It seems, unbeknown to us, that Birder is a fantastic photographer. While we were in OR, he gifted us with a beautiful original pen & ink drawing so we knew he was left brain but WOW. Below find the link to his Flickr account. His photos are wonderful. We hope you enjoy them and someday get a chance to this boxer who told us the history of central OR, identified wildlife and the terrain. Great work, Birder!
