"A strong nation, like a strong person, can afford to be gentle, firm, thoughtful, and restrained. It can afford to extend a helping hand to others. It is a weak nation, like a weak person, that must behave with bluster and boasting and rashness and other signs of insecurity." —Jimmy Carter #BOTD

Those who lyve well, who helpe, who make art, who do goode thinges -- thei lyve on yn all of the people ynspired by them. We honor by rememberinge, & by strivinge to imitate as much as we kan. Greate heartes nevir fade awaye. The love thei gave doth move the worlde righte now.

An old cabin in what's left of the settlement of Oysterville. #Photography #Oregon #Newport #PNW #OregonCoast #Oysterville #YaquinaBay
An image of a two story cabin on the banks of Yaquina Bay in what used to be the settlement of Oysterville.  Oysterville was one of the earliest white settlements in the region, and was primarily involved in the harvesting of native oysters.  These were depleted over time, and now Japanese oysters are farmed in the bay.

Layers of the Front Range A Pixel 6 snap from a few years ago, looking out at the Front Range across the prairie grasses at the Westminster dog park. #ThursdayThoughts #PhotoSky #FrontRange #ColoradoPhotography #PixelPhotography #ECK
A landscape photograph taken from an open prairie field of dry and green grasses, looking out toward the Colorado Front Range mountains. The rolling mountain ridges are layered in atmospheric blue and hazy tones under a dramatic sky filled with heavy storm clouds. A break in the clouds allows warm, golden sunlight to filter down, illuminating a section of the foothills. On the left side of the frame, a lone wooden utility pole stands tall in the grassy field, with power lines stretching horizontally across the view.

Found a pair of loafers on the front deck.
A fat black cat loafs on a cedar deck rail with quite a bit of overhang. Her tortoiseshell sister sits behind. Pink hydrangeas and other foliage surround them.

They're back! One of the more popular attractions of Newport's bay front are sea lions which haul out on a dock easily accessible to visitors. They leave for a brief time in summer to mate with females in California, and then return. #Photography #Oregon #Newport #PNW #OregonCoast #SeaLions
An image of a male sea lion hauling himself onto the sea lion dock, a dock easily accessible to visitors of Newport, Oregon's bay front.  With the exception of of a few months in summer when they travel to California to mate with females (who don't come up this far north), they are residents here.  These guys have just returned.

Meanwhile (just because), here are a few of the treasures I've collected over the years – all things the sea has brought ashore during stormy times. 🐚💎
An open wooden container, kind of like an old printer's box, with 50 tiny compartments holding ceramic shards (potsherds?) & shells & seaglass as well as the odd plastic toy, car, rusted metal, Lego, etc.

Before sunrise, looking down on a track through grass to the curve of McCauley's beach, Thirroul. A softness to the sky, clouds & sea. A sign denoting this as a dog-walking beach & habitat for sooty oystercathers. Two figures & dog on the sand.

'Dandelions,' was painted by the Danish artist Bertha Wegmann around 1910. It wasn't an arbitrary choice of a plant to paint: the dandelion was used to promote the women’s liberation movement in Scandinavia because of its capacity for uncontrolled, strong-willed growth.
