On May 6, three of us in Eugene Oregon visited a friend of ours in Pleasant Hill, a short distance away. We had a great visit. This is the view from our friend's home.

April 25, Oakway Center, Eugene Oregon. I had lunch at Pastini with friends. It was a social week. Then I stopped off at the Broadway Wine Merchants, a really good wine store. And what did I take a photo of, the bushes next to my car!

April 24, downtown Eugene Oregon. Walking back to my car after having coffee with a great Meetup group. The camera does weird things with the straight lines of buildings, depending on the angle, so I focused on the tree. 1 of 2

April 13, Eugene Oregon, from my living room picture window. This is the kind of sunset where people say - what a sunset! It was an impressive sunset.

March 16, Eugene Oregon, McMenamins North Bank. I had lunch here with friends. The food was good, the views of the Willamette River were beautiful and it was great to see friends. It was too cool for most of us to sit outside.Two photos were shot outside and one inside.

January 27, Eugene Oregon. Amazon Creek, near where I live. "Gloomy" would be a good description, but it's also beautiful. There are days when winter looks like this.

I stopped posting, not for any good reason, but I decided to start again. These are views of the ice storm we had in mid January, Eugene Oregon. This is not snow. There was an ice storm, a rare but not unheard of occurrence.

Here in Eugene Oregon, if the weather continues as predicted, on Saturday and Sunday we will have the abomination of the weather not going above freezing during the day, and what looks like sleet on Saturday, and colder temperatures at night than we usually get

December 2023, Eugene Oregon. The first photo - I have this in my kitchen. I just put it on an outlet I do not use, so I can keep it up and lighted. It's wonderfully odd. You can see that the water is evaporating. I may not be able to replace the bulb when it goes, but that's ok. 1 of 2

December 9, 2023, Oakway Center, Eugene Oregon. I had a lovely lunch with friends, then did a little shopping. This appealed to me, on this overcast day.

November 1, 2023, Forrester's Bar & Grill, Eugene Oregon. Halloween with Sasquatch, nice Pacific Northwest reference. I had a late breakfast, the Dungeness crab omelet, which is a western Oregon thing.

December 25 and 30, 2023, Eugene Oregon. I like winter here. I like the winter sky, and you see more of it, as deciduous trees drop their leaves. View from my bedroom picture window.

October 17. Here in Eugene Oregon, during autumn I snap photos from my car, though not when the car is moving! I pull off to the side. I do have a quick photo I took while stopped at a light. In this photo I was leaving my parking lot and I put the car in park and took this. (More in a comment)

Eugene, Oregon. I had fun this summer. I saw live music, with friends. I did outdoor swimming in the hot weather. I joined two very nice meetup groups to meet new people and I did a little socialization with them. I went to the movies. I went to the Lane County Fair.

A little keepsake from Bocca della Verità, the mask of truth, a large marble mask in the portico of the Sana Maria in Cosmedin church in Rome, about 1st century CE. There is a legend around it. 1 of 7

August 8, Eugene Oregon, Amazon Pool. Weather forecast, Yahoo weather app, Sunday, August 13, and today, August 15. I was thinking of going swimming on Monday, but even I, who goes swimming if it is very hot, thought that outdoor swimming at 108F was not a good idea. 1 of 5

July 28, Eugene Oregon, outside my building. The flowers like the heat, though it was not quite as hot then. There is a watering system, on part of the property, that comes on at night.

In July I saw two movies at one of my local multiplex movie theaters. I went to Cinemax in Springfield Oregon. I saw Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, and Barbie. I liked them both, very much. I had a great time. 1 of 4
