THAT KIND OF WEEK

 It's been that kind of week — busy with shopping, appointments and a lot of mostly non-photo-worthy activities.    And because this week is going to be another one just like it,  I'm combining several themes and memes into one post for the week.

 

No matter what else is going on, we  eat — and a visit to a Farm Store always provides food for the eyes as well as for the body.    This Farm is on River Road between Eugene and Junction City.  Roses and sunflowers growing along the pretty fence —  summer and fall flowers mixing it up in this between-season month.

 

 

 

Fall fruits are already in season — crisp apples, pumpkins and the stone fruits (peaches especially) are wonderful.     

 

 

The birds are still hanging around the wetlands.  Here a great egret wades near the Marina boat dock — the boats have all been pulled because this side of the Lake is already too shallow.

 

 

(Fern Ridge Lake is a Reservoir — water levels are lowered in the Fall for flood control purposes.) 

 

 

 Well — we do have to eat no matter what — but as mentioned above, "It's been that kind of week!"

So much to do, so much busy work — not  a whole lot of subject matter for a photo blog  – but then there is always the sun.  It  rises and sets as it is supposed to do and life is good.

 

With thanks to the hosts of all of the following wonderful sharing opportunities — and thanks to everyone for putting up with this rather disjointed combination — this post is shared with:

OUR WORLD ON TUESDAY;  TREES and BUSHES;  

WILD BIRD WEDNESDAY,WEDNESDAY WATERS;

GOOD FENCES; SIGNS SIGNS;

and SKYWATCH FRIDAY.

(Back to our normal programming next week, with any luck at all.)
