Just a few I've taken over the last week or so.
Centre Court Remodel
Remember when it was JC Penneys?

Great gate down the street.

A splash of color as we
head towards winter.


We've still got great color
in the Washburne District.

Monday Afternoon Walk
Not sure how I managed a walk without rain today, but I did. It was wonderful!
Saw these two as I was walking back
across the bridge over the river.

This section truly is beautiful.
Boat ramp area on the east side of the river.
Getting Ready for a Bazaar
I'm doing a bazaar on November 6th at McCornack Elementary. Focusing more on bracelets this year.
New bracelet. Very light and delicate.

Close up of the Czech Glass,
navy Delicas, and silver seed beads.
New Earring Design
Came up with this last night with some size 10 Delicas, bugle beads, and Swarovski crystals.

My new earring design! I'm excited!

Saturday's Walk Before the Storm
Saw a crazy thing on today's walk. Hummingbirds all over a section of a brick church. Looked like they were pecking into the brick and might have had a nest on one of the ledges.

Loved the singularity of this tree
and how colorful it was all on its own.

Methodist Church on 6th St.

Springfield Justice Center
It's a pretty building for a jail.

Here's one of the hummingbirds pecking.

Dahlia with bee.

Same place that had the glads!

Apparently they're going that way!

Walk with Mom
Nice walk with Mom this morning. We did around 4 miles (not sure my pedometer is too accurate) with a stop for coffee.

This was placed perfectly in someone's front yard.
Thought it was great!

Easter Island? No, Barger area!

They had two!

Thought the pattern in the leaves
were really striking.

Morning Mist
Nice walk this morning in the mist. Did 50 minutes and 3.5 miles. I'm drawn to the river and the bridges lately. It looks so different depending on the time of day.

Cool colors on the river
before the sun peaked out.

Finally just peaking out of the clouds.

It really was a pretty morning.

All the sudden, these guys came
out of the mist and went right back in.

Feeling better and walking again. Did 50 minutes and 2.75 miles.

Great fall color in the trees right now.
Glads still blooming.
Sunlight on the river at Island Park.

Thursday Stroll
I haven't been feeling well lately (flu bug) thus not walking much. Here are two that I took today when I went to the Post Office and Dari-Mart.

I love the grass at Bruce Berg's Photography.

This guy was great! Standard Poodle

Thursday Walk With Mom
Mom and I walked from Oakway Mall up to Spyglass, around the neighborhoods and back. 4.43 miles, 9090 steps and 1:18.
Strange spots on all the roses, really pretty.
Have no idea what these are. Long stalks kind of like
Lilys with all these little white flowers on them.
Seems late to have so many gorgeous roses in bloom.

Rainy Saturday Walk
Short walk today. Started raining about half way through.
Love this gate! The shrubs are trimmed perfectly.

The large version is big enough for a desktop

Made it to Eugene!
I walked from home in Springfield to downtown Eugene today. Took the EMX back to Springfield, then walked back home from the station. 11509 steps, 5.49 miles, 1:40.
Didn't realize the worker guy was watching me take photos.
They're working on the new bridge at I-5.

More than halfway there!
Walkway to the controversial
athlete study building.
Reflection on moat around athlete study center.
But take a look at how ucky the water really is.
I made it! Harlequin Beads at 10th and Willamette in Eugene.

Sunday's Walk
Did 9240 steps, 1.20 hours, and 4.40 miles this morning. Walked to 2nd and Main, then back to McDonald's on Mohawk Blvd and back home. There was a Pop Warner Jamboree this morning at Silke Field, thought these guys were great.
Love the mohawk!
Saturday on the Porch
Had a wonderful afternoon in the sun with a book, a beer, and the animals.
The best part of the day.
Buddy sunning himself.
Zinnias on the porch.
Getting loved on by Heifer.
Sunlight through the coleus.
No, I'm not a Siamese or a rabbit!
Just kind of stupid looking!
