According to NYT:

There was a good deal of confusion earlier when President Trump told reporters in the Oval Office that the United States had been bringing “millions of barrels of oil” through the Strait of Hormuz without Iran’s knowledge.

Let me clear that up for you, confused reporter: the President was just making shit up, as usual.

“Good Advice”

Words of wisdom from one of Eugene’s graffiti artists.

"DON'T BE SHITTY" written on a wall along with a giant poop emoji

“Wet Grass”

“Beetle and Friends”

I thought I was just photographing a beetle with a water droplet. Then I got him up on a computer screen and spotted his little buddies.

“Parking Lot in the Sky”

“Trapped!”

There was a brief rain shower. Now this bee is waiting to dry off so it will be light enough to fly again.
