Ball of Fire:

Yesterday evening, my friend April called and suggested I take a picture of the sun ... which was very red because of the smoke from the forest fires. By the time I had gotten outside it was too low for me to get a good shot, because of all the trees, but these turned out kind of interesting anyway.

McCredie Hot Springs, Highway 58, Willamette Pass, Oregon

A popular spot for a smoke break, and right next to the highway just outside of Oakridge, you will find the beautiful McCredie Hot Springs, located on Salt Creek. We like to stretch our legs and walk down the short trail to see what is going on.

People have been working on these pools, and they are looking pretty nice these days. Thank you, hard-working pool workers.

My only complaint about this spot is the litter that lazy people leave behind. Give a hoot, don't pollute!  Next time we go to Eugene I think I will bring some garbage bags to haul away some of the mess.  Litterbugs, please pack it out ... for goodness sakes it is just a matter of feet back to your car.

Some people wear swimsuits, and some do not. These people did not, and some lady (me) who likes to take interesting and/or beautiful pictures for her blog came along and took a picture of them enjoying the hot springs in the buff. With an umbrella. Jeepers! The woods are full of spies. Even if you click on the picture to enlarge it, they are far enough away to remain anonymous. But just remember, whether you are nude or not, you are fair game to photographers at this joint.

This guy has his clothes on. I think he saw the camera.
