July 31: Day 205

Sun flare! What's better then sun flare? Sun flare with blackberries! I happen to adore blackberry cobbler and so I've been watching the blackberries behind my house ripen with great anticipation. Of course in order to get any of these tempting berries I'll have to don a hazmat suit to avoid the poison oak that grows right alongside it. Anyone have some poison oak-free blackberries I could pick? Pretty please?

I took this shot in Pacific City as I was hunting around for good family photo locations before the family photo session I did that evening. I've been to Pacific City a hundred times or more and I've never seen this boardwalk but now I know how to find it again!

This Volkswagon Bug sits on our office window sill. My husband actually took a photo of it in his high school photography class. He made it look like his Yoda figurine was actually standing next to it. I didn't go for such realism.

I took this photo before we left on our long drive home. I find I'm more creative before a 9 hour car drive.
