Pictures

I'm working to learn how to post pictures along with text. The first batch of photos I'm going to try to add are all taken from somewhere on our property. We feel pretty lucky to have found this place. We have 4.21 acres along the Long Tom River approximately 15 miles West of Eugene, on a dead-end road with minimal car traffic but lots of animal traffic. We are between two ridgelines so there is a micro-climate here resulting in some interesting weather that can be different than the weather happening just down the road. We have deer, pheasants, turkeys, grouse, rabbits, bobcats, raccoons, possums and other assorted creatures that pass through the property. There is also a wide assortment of songbirds and birds of prey that come visit. Occasionally, a cougar will show up in the area and force us to keep close watch on all of our pets. On the nights with a full moon, we can see clear across the property as if it were almost daylight. It's a lot of work to have the acreage but I cannot imagine moving back to town after living out here.
