Looking over a bluff from the Washington side of the Columbia River gorge. If you zoom in, you can see trucks on I-84 on the Oregon side. #BlueskyArtShow #Weather

"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

The idea must be catching on! A rougher version from the Barge Inn Tavern on Yaquina Bay in Newport, Oregon, USA.

Photo of a hand-drawn sign in front of the Barge Inn Tavern on Yaquina Bay in Newport, Oregon. Sign reads: HUSBAND DAY CARE! Do you need time to relax, time to yourself or time to go out for shopping!? We can help! Drop off's [sic] welcome any time! No hourly rate! You just pay his tab!

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.
