“Shelter”
Lunch break in the midst of an 8-hour hike in the rain.
I put in 19 miles on the trails at the North Bank Habitat Management Area today. Infinitely preferable to staying home in a house full of football.
In my opinion, a wet day in the woods beats the hell out of a dry house full of super bowl.

“Infrastructure”
There are a bunch of BPA power lines running through the Howard Buford Recreation Area where I do a lot of hiking. Sometimes they’re as visually interesting as the mushrooms and wildflowers.
Dawn sky was showing off this morning.

“Beaming Down”
Looks like there was a UFO landing in my back yard this morning.
I never seem to get tired of taking pictures of the moon. Perhaps there's a bit of werewolf in my distant ancestry. #dailyphoto #moon #astrophotography

“Spiky”
“Coffee Time”
More of Eugene’s parking meter art.
Sometimes it still amazes me that I live somewhere that Douglas Fir trees sprout in my front yard.

“Drains to Stream”
Another of our fine urban fish.
“Happy Valentine’s Day”
I really have no idea what these critters are supposed to be, but they’re part of the seasonal display at my wife’s boutique.
“Graffiti Memories”
When you don’t buy enough purple paint to allow for future touch-ups.
“Skyline”
“The White Tree”
Spent some time walking around today with a new-to-me lens (used Olympus 14-150mm 1:4-5.6 II ED). This tree in an alley was one of the things that caught my eye.
It's pretty clear why some people refer to squirrels as "tree rats." #dailyphoto #oregon

‘The Fog Retreats"
As the moon sets and the sun rises. View from Swing Hill yesterday morning.
Sometimes a drop of melting ice contains the whole world.

“Sea Serpent”
If you can't afford to fix a broken bridge, then nailing on some cleats is the next best thing. Shot near the downstream end of the Fall Creek National Recreation Trail. #dailyphoto #oregon
