Vulnerable

Vulnerable - an orange Asiatic lily in Stayton Oregon

Okay, so yesterday was a bit odd. We had a brief snow shower in the morning (too brief for me to get any photos), and then it was sunny in the afternoon. That’s in addition to the hail we had a few days ago. And we may we have snow again today.

Somebody needs to tell Mother Nature it is late March. Spring. This isn’t supposed to happen.

Anyway, so instead of all that, I’m posting a photo of an Asiatic lily. It is spring, darn it, even if the weather doesn’t know that.

Look But Don’t Touch

Look But Don't Touch - a Harley-Davidson motorcycle in Stayton Oregon

I am irresistibly drawn to motorcycles. I can’t ride them, mind you, but I do like to look at them. And take pictures of them from weird angles. I spotted this Harley-Davidson near Pioneer Park the other day. It’s so pretty and shiny.

Note: the license plate has been altered to protect the privacy of the owner of the bike.

Also note: it occurred to me I took another photo of a motorcycle in the same location last year, and I do believe it’s the same one. (Yes, the license plate is different, as I had rearranged the numbers on that one, too, but in a different way.)

Hail, Hail

Hail, Hail - in Stayton Oregon

Hail, Hail IIWe had some decidedly non-springlike weather yesterday. First we had rain mixed with snow, then a major hail storm which turned everything white for a while. This isn’t normal for late March.

The photo above was taken on my driveway. The photo at right was taken in the middle of the street in front of my house. I’m glad I didn’t have to be out in it when it was coming down.
