Saw this about 1/2 way between Sublimity and Salem Oregon. Driver was trotting the horses around his pasture, but stopped & held them a minute when he saw me get out my camera. Gave me a wave & took off when I was done. Don

August is messy. Why do all the walnuts drop from all the walnut trees at the same time?

I was out on a ride just beyond the Illinois river and happened upon a large stainless steel sculpture.
Here's a shot of my bike leaned against it.....
Neat bit of art. Rather abstract but graceful.
It does require the viewer to back up a bit to really get a good look at the whole thing, though.

(I always wanted to climb the stairs in the legs of the arch, though. It would be fascinating, although that might wear off before I climbed the whole 630 feet)

Underfoot, hungry... they're always hungry.
Cheating, I knew what I would find. Rode my bike (rather than taking my truck) to a client's house, to clean the filters. Built it about 10 years ago.

Definitely something to see if you are in the area. If you also have a bike, there are a variety of opportunities to ride too.

While out riding yesterday I saw a couple dozen items of clothing strewn along the side of the road concluding with this.
