February Fakeout is a local phenomenon when the weather feels like Spring for some days in February. We just had that for nearly the entire first week. These photos are from a walk around Tabor at sunset on the 6th.

…these mossy trees, and my favorite trestle bridge, although, to be honest, I only really know one…

…these birds flying in a nice pattern…

…a farmer who said hi, and also, "what a lovely #oregon day!" as I was standing in cold rain and the sky was gray and the temperature was 43°F, but I genuinely agreed with her, because it was true…

Had the day off yesterday and decided to go on a drive to explore new-to-me places. Saw some bald eagles. I swear two of them separately looked at me directly and then flew away, with what I assumed was a, "city boy with camera 🙄" vibes…

📷 Some photos on a walk at Powell Butte. I went with the constraint "black and white photos with the iPhone using @obscura, mostly with the new 4x lens" and am quite happy with the results. Full set of photos at the link attached.

On Friday I had the day off, so I took the opportunity to be outside all day exploring new-to-me places a couple hours away right here in Oregon.

Sent some feedback:

The weather widget should show the temperature at all times. It should show the temperature when it is raining. If you live in a place where it rains a lot you don’t see the temperature when it is raining, which can sometimes be several days in a row, and that is just silly.
