Someone went through the trails around Spencer Butte with pink chalk and colored all of the vaguely heart-shaped rocks.

Meta Suppressing links to Ice List while fighting any responsibility for teen mental health have combined to get me off Instagram. Moved my #dailyphoto posting over to Pixelfed.de (and offshored at the same time, bonus win).

“Friendly Fence”

I always get a smile when I’m walking up this part of Amazon Parkway.

“The Haze”

We’ve had temperature inversions in the Willamette Valley for a week, leading to much stagnant air. And the pollutants just sit in between all the hills. I was glad to be up in the clear air for a little while.

“Bell System”

“After the Sea Gulls”

“Crab Memories”

“Triptych”

Wraparound flash diffuser from some no-name walmart.com merchant probably isn't as good as the dedicated custom-sized name-brand macro diffusers, but at 1/10 the price it'll do. #dailyphoto
