We've been eating onions from our garden for a couple months, but I just harvested what was left. Behold! Box of Onions! (Walla Walla Sweet)

box filled with plump, delicious onions that still have roots and some dirt on them.

Our neighbor leaves these little toys in the corner of their yard so kids walking by can stop and play. They have a lovely low concrete wall to sit on and lots of rocks for the cars to ramble over.

One large gray rock with flat spots where small toy cars, trucks, and airplanes rest waiting kiddos. Smaller round rocks surround the play space.

Colorful stickers on a pole at Brothers, Oregon. This is at the "Oasis" (a vault toilet rest stop). But look at that sky!

Metal light pole covered in stickers with a scrubby gold open prarie behind, distant montains and puffy clouds in a blue sky.

I just love this contrast of golden harvest against deep green forested hills. Oregon, you're a pretty thing. (Taken somewhere near Buell/Sheridan)

Golden hay (probably straw) field harvested and stacked into two huge bale cubes behind which are deep green forested hills against a blue and cloudy white sky.

How you doin'? First deer I've ever seen in my yard and she's ready to rumble.

Young doe standing in a grassy green yard between a chair and a small red table. Deer is staring into the camera, her neck tilted to one side and one ear tipped back, making her look inquisitive.

New doughnut food truck in town. Gotta try them all! (They were delicious and fresh but turned out to be too sweet for me. More like tiny cake desserts than doughnuts.)

So many donoughts. Just oodles of them in black carry out boxes.

Look, I know it's not the best picture, but this was the rising lunar eclipse right over my front yard last week. Those dusty pastels just sent me.

Dusty pink sky graduating down to a soft worn blue at the tree edge. The moon in rose and gold is rising, caught for the moment atop the fir trees.

Got away from the news and decided to enjoy nature instead. Field near Turner, Oregon.

Field of yellow flowers (either rapeseed or mustard, I don't know) with a path carving through it. In the background are green, forested hills, and a blue sky with fluffy white clouds near the horizon.
