Here’s another shot I took last night by accident. I messed up my camera settings and blew out the sky all around the dandelion so everything came out white. I kind of liked it, though.
I added an overall tint to even it out a bit and then decided to go totally greeting-card and added the quote.
I’m still thinking about the quote — trying to find something else to use.
We stopped by Camp Adair this evening to shoot some photos as the sun went down. My attention was captured by the dandelions.
Now I’m all itchy from lying down in the grass… ha.

Happy anniversary, Oregon, my love! I can hardly believe we have been here five years – the time seems to have just flown by. The best part of this move has been the new friendships we have made. Not to get all sappy, but I am so grateful to have both new friends and old friends in my life here.
Here is to many more happy years in Oregon! *cheers*
Took these last night — again from the passenger seat of the car — as we drove home to Albany from Independence.
Photos like this — where I stuck my arm out the car window and took a photo with a phone app while we zoomed by at 55mph — make me wish I’d stopped and taken a proper shot with my actual camera. But then I wonder if I’d ever even be able to get the same feeling from it.
I wanted to practice taking some shots with a flash on the camera, so… okay, here’s what I practiced on:
Bookshelf Gnome has a companion now. The new guy has a watering can.
I don’t know what else to say. I have bookshelf gnomes. Plural. Doesn’t the flash do a nice job…?
I’ll have a TdF update soon, but wanted to post this photo I took last evening in a local cemetery. There are a lot of old gravestones here… the first burial here took place in 1847. They were watering the grounds last night as the sun slipped down behind the trees.

Today some friends and I headed down to Eugene to take in all the fibery goodness of the Black Sheep Gathering.
Of course I found plenty of gorgeous stuff to spin, but I think my favorite purchase of the day would have to be this agatized coral button from Rock and Wool:

I’m not sure I’m going to be able to part with it, so it probably won’t end up on one of my hats!
