Spray

Golden afternoon sunlight filters through mature deciduous trees along a quiet residential street in the small eastern Oregon town of Spray. A weathered white picket fence runs parallel to the street, enclosing a modest yard where autumn has begun to touch the foliage with warm yellows and browns. The scene captures the unhurried pace of rural Wheeler County life, with scattered houses nestled beneath towering trees and distant hills visible through the canopy. — ISO 200 · 23mm · f/5.6 · 1/480

A portrait of forester and poet Mark Miller in Spray, Oregon. He is an older man with blue eyes, a grey beard, and long grey hair, wearing a red zip-up fleece, a grey bucket hat, and a silver cowboy boot bolo tie. Black suspenders printed with the words "TIMBERLINE" and "HELICOPTERS" cross his chest. He smiles warmly at the camera, with a wooden lattice fence and soft bokeh foliage visible in the background. — ISO 100 · 80mm · f/1.7 · 1/100
