One of the great summer pleasures in Oregon is the annual return of the Oregon Bach Festival, a three-week extravaganza of brutally good live classical music performed in Eugene and, recently, in Portland as well.
The festival makes its grand splash opening on Friday in Eugene&#8217;s Hult Center, where the OBF forces will gather under the [...]]]></description>

Eugene&#8217;s Civic Stadium was built in 1938 with help from the federal Works Progress Administration. Those bleachers you see are old growth Douglas fir, much of it donated. Now it all may be headed for the scrap pile, as it&#8217;s in need of more renovation than anyone seems to have money for.
This could be Civic&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s fall, when a young buck&#8217;s fancy turns to thoughts of love.
Deer do it in the fall, in other words. By spring, the does are too busy with babies to give the bucks a second thought.
But this time of year, romance beckons. Two bucks, like this guy in the photo, have been hanging around our [...]]]></description>

The Creswell Fourth of July parade was, as always, an endless stream of tractors, muscle cars, riding lawnmowers, and even two bands &#8212; the Creswell High School Bulldogs and Eugene&#8217;s One More Time Marching Band.
If a little slow and disjointed in places &#8212; sometimes the wait between entries was endless &#8212; it was a great [...]]]></description>

Almost exactly a year ago she brought the last pair of twins to our attention.
This morning the slot-eared doe that seems always to be under foot in our yard showed up with her latest brood &#8212; scampering and jumping and then taking cover under mom.

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Over the course of Amanda Snyder&#8217;s long career during the early- and mid-20th century, the noted Oregon painter channeled a variety of stylistic currents. For example, colorful, impressionistic scenes imbued with darker, more abstract qualities can be found in her work&#8230;.&#8221;

Wild turkeys have a reputation among hunters as a wary, elusive bird, difficult to stalk and hunt. These hunters haven&#8217;t seen the wild turkeys of Oregon&#8217;s Willamette Valley.
Stocked by Oregon&#8217;s Department of Fish and Wildlife since 1975, these Rio Grande turkeys have become an affable resident in some rural and even suburban neighborhoods, a pest [...]]]></description>
