The Artist's Touch
As I was walking along the river in Bend, Oregon one late afternoon this week, I spied the sun and a cloud reflecting on the surface of the Deschutes River and illuminating a sub-surface rock. In the foreground, a large chunk of basalt seems to direct the eye to the focal point of the picture. The river becomes the palette of an artistic sky and reveals a diversity of blue and grey tones and shapes, highlighted by the muted yellow ball. In its simplicity, this photo condenses a lot of information about the world above, around and below into a quiet statement for us to appreciate.

Playing with Dark Light
Today I had to decide whether to post a picture with "dark' as its theme for Shutterday Saturday or "play" for Unique's Photo Challenge and maintain the integrity of using pictures showing Bend, Oregon. As I strolled the streets of downtown today, a band of "Goth" musicians were standing in the alley playing and singing especially funny and critical anti-establishment songs. I loved their vitality, creativity and also their desire through music to make a difference. Dark clothing, and dark thoughts are brought to light through bright sound and lovely colored instruments. Here hard work and enthusiastic play generated positive energy for all those who played and those who listened. Can you hear the sound?

A Day on the Farm
While walking through a Farmer's Market here in Bend, Oregon, I stopped at this intriguing booth and chatted with these folks, who asserted that goat meat was a healthier alternative to beef and that raising goats was more environmentally sound, which, if true, makes this photo qualify for Think Green Thursday. I generally avoid posed pictures, but sometimes I think I get lucky. In the background the words "Goat Meat" and "Healthy Red Meat" are captured neatly between this wonderful couple, and the sign "Goat Breast" looks like it is pinned to and pointing, well, I won't go there. It is said that people often look like their pets. Look at this man's beard and this woman's gentle face and tell me what you see.
