I didn’t get a lot of photos on yesterday’s hike, but I did like the way this little reminder of spring came out. And yeah, despite being January, this year’s weather has everything in Oregon convinced that spring is here.
“Drawdown”
Before this valley was Lookout Point Reservoir, they logged it completely (because why drown useful trees?). Right now the Corps of Engineers has the level drawn down so far that the field of rotting stumps is the reservoir’s main feature.
First stream violet of the spring, seen on the Eugene to Crest Trail above Lookout Point Reservoir.

It’s 2026. I’m living on a fixed income. I shouldn’t have to be thinking about how to afford a full-face gas mask.
Coyote that was hanging around the parking lot at the trailhead this morning. I was 10 feet away and it was just looking for a handout, no doubt because people have been feeding it. This probably isn’t going to end well.
This is for @dwalbert - I don’t know how widely this manhole cover was used, but it’s on many of the storm drains around Eugene. We like our nature here.
“Ladybug”
Just another little bit of Eugene street art.
“Happy Valentine’s Day”
Someone went through the trails around Spencer Butte with pink chalk and colored all of the vaguely heart-shaped rocks.
