This is what my vegan lunch looked like before I destroyed it with my face. A vegan burger with a house-made black bean patty. I’m not gluten-free, but those onion rings are. And they were hella good.
The aforementioned Oregon #Junco pair continues to be active in the vicinity of our house, and the female has now started to lay in the nest! This wee cup is quite well concealed to casual observation within a bush in our garden. #Birding#DarkEyedJunco#Oregon#Spring
Before, during, after -- a good storm on the coast is well worth finding a spot to watch it from.
Brooding clouds overhead do their best to block the sun, but eventually, as the storm wanes, light breaks through and shimmers across the surface of the sea.
The power of nature is awe inspiring. How often do we take time to look?

"Never give up on a sunset", a photographer once told me. Nature painted an array of colors blended in shades like Ive never seen! Rainbow beams pierced the clouds, reflecting colors into the snow covered ground and sky above. I was skiing down Mt Hood when suddenly the snow shifted colors, I stopped, looked up & realized. Enjoy these gifts from nature, a blessing to receive, a beauty worth sharing. #nofilter#sunset#rainbow#mountains#mthood#oregon#skiing#naturephotography#photography
“There were no Black airborne troops in the Army at that point, in 1944, said Bob Bartlett, a retired educator ...
There was a Black service company… that was serving white troops: doing laundry, patching holes in the street, guarding the gate, hauling ammunition. But they were strictly a service company."
What a clusterfuck. Gervais School District in Marion County, a high, middle, elementary and charter school may have to close if the county doesn't pass a $28M bond. 33 years since they were able to get a bond passed for the district. 33!!! #oregon
📣 #OREGON can be dangerously misleading. On the surface it seems blue but much of the state is radically red. Help ensure Democrats hold onto the centerpiece of the West Coast; donate today! #Blue24

Just put out my Ladybug Hotel and released 1,500 live bugs into the wild. Inside is pine needles, straw and some raisins to give them something to munch on. Also placed it near our main #flower#gardens and fountain so they can drink.
HOLY CRAP - we're standing outside taking photos and looking at the sun (SAFELY! with filters and glasses and special apps!) and housemate gets this photo and then ZOOMS IN - there's a PARACHUTER!
Zoom in right below the sun and you'll see them! We're in Eugene, Oregon, which one of you is photo bombing the eclipse?? :D
#Oregon BEWARE: “Democratic Oregon House candidate is big Republican donor
Brian Maguire has given hundreds of thousands of dollars to state and federal Republican candidates and causes”
Taken with a Bronica S2 camera and Fuji Acros film, printed using Moersch Easylith chemicals. I believe I used old Foma paper for the darkroom print, but I don't remember the specifics.
I only printed perhaps half a dozen (or fewer) images using the Lith process; this was the most successful one. I've always intended to do more. I love the way Lith prints look. So much texture.
I had an amazing weekend, I’m so happy spring is finally here. It’s so freeing to carry everything you need on your back and be completely surrounded by nature. I feel so much safer alone in the middle of the forest than camping along forest roads. I’m considering this spring training while the Cascades are still covered in snow. This trail is ideal for that.
Jumped back on the trail last night and camped along it. Not a soul came by my camp. Up on Kings Mountain now. Most likely going to check out some stealth campsites around Elk Mountain next. Feels amazing to be out in nature.
