David,
Well done! You documented a lot of street art very well. Also I liked reading your narratives.

Steve,
I like seeing your cloud pictures. I took a lot of pictures of clouds also on my trip to Montana. Thunderstorms can show us interesting cloud formations that reach high in the atmosphere.

Dunlin,
Thanks for the reply about the wind mills. I'm glad you liked photo no. 13. These structures were amazing to see.
It was easier for me to take pictures from a moving car on the dry side of the mountains. On the wet side, we have so many trees that can make it more difficult.

Simplejoy,
Thanks for sharing with us the information about the "fire bugs".
-
We will have raspberries, I know because the bee is here to pollinate. 😊
-
Congrats! They are the best.

Thanks for your trip photos, Dig. Many of the shots remind me of western S. Dakota. If I were a geologist that might not be as much of a surprise to me.
We have “wind farms” here on the road to Hungary, where it is quite flat. I also remember seeing a lot in Scotland 20 years ago.
By the way, I was shocked to read this morning that pumping your own gas is still illegal in Oregon at the moment!

As I recall, most of it is flat, and some of the reclaimed land is below sea level!

Many thanks for this info, SimpleJoy. I dont understand why I have never seen these insects before. Are they generally advantageous to a garden?

Nice pictures, both of you. Raspberries are my favourite fruit, but I have only seen red ones. Unfortunately, they are sold year round here, and the imported ones in the winter are not worth buying.

SteveP,
That's a nice photo of the bee. They are hard to catch in a photo. I've done it a few times, but they move too fast.

Simplejoy,
That raspberry looks yummy. We have wild blackberries where I live in Oregon. If I remember right, the best time to pick them is sometime in August.

David,
Thanks. I've been to the Black Hills of South Dakota on the west side of the state also, including the Badlands. That's an interesting place too.
Yes, the attendants pump the gas (petrol) in Oregon. I believe the reason they do that (and not allow the consumers to do that), is that they didn't want to take away people's jobs. We are spoiled in Oregon to have someone else pump our gas.

Hi Dunlin, Thank You.
It was strange because they usually spend low tide in the harbour catching fish etc. in the small pools left by the outgoing tide but this time they had decided to stay in the estuary probably because some where nesting.

Thank you!
Many thanks. I love raspberries as well. You're right about the "imported, year round" ones though... they're not great. Usually the ones I capture are from our garden though.
Here's one from this year:

Simplejoy,
That "red-iculous" raspberry looks delicious. 😀

Growing on my windowsill. Just prune, add water and sun!

David,
I like the bright red color. It looks great.
