Barn Owl by Dennis Rivera
Last weekend we went to the Cascades Raptor Center in Eugene. I highly recommend visiting if you are in the area.
Dennis got the best photos of the day (see above!), but here’s one I took of a Kestrel named Puck. He was very close to the wire mesh of his cage, so I wasn’t able to blur it out completely:
This orchard was so atmospheric and eye-catching, we pulled off the side of the road and took photos.

As long as I’m posting this photo, I may as well mention that Marcus has decided I’m not the devil and will consent to sit on my lap for several minutes at a time. He has also pretty much stopped biting me whenever I pet him, but his claws will come out and he’ll get a little snappish if I get carried away.
I’m going to attempt a 365 day photo project with some friends on Ravelry… one photo every day. I may not post every day’s photo here on the blog, but I’ll put them all in this set on Flickr.
My beautiful boy!
Things have been really hectic here… new post coming soon. I mean, I’ll try.
We’ve got some grody little mushrooms growing out of one of our straw bales. The straw is for winter mulching in the yard.
I realize that taking this photo and posting it online is supremely geeky of me, but look at that bottle! It’s just so cute! And it was delivered to my door by a bonafide milk-man! Glass bottle, non-homogenized, organic… sure I’ll own my geekiness.
