No idea. I happened to be driving by at sunset when I saw the background and took the photo.
Photo shoot anything lately? Random Photo Thread

I thought that you were finishing up the field in your tractor!
Looks like a Massey or a Case, but either way it's a stunning photo.I flew out to visit my daughter during her spring break at the University of Portland and except for delayed flights resulting in missed connections that caused me to go 37 hours without sleep on the trip home, it was a great experience. From the snow at Government Camp to the Oregon beaches and a brief visit to the Tillamook air museum (complete with an orange Deere) there was a lot for baby cam to photograph. I call my tiny Canon M6 Mark II camera I use for traveling baby cam because it is so tiny and light compared to the multiple Canon 1DX II and III bodies and lenses I use for sports photography.
It was a great experience and a chance to celebrate the experiences of her freshman year since Anna was awarded a paid internship for Los Alamos National Lab just before I flew out. I am looking forward to a summer visit to New Mexico now

Wonderful photos! Did you go up Mount Hood to the Timberline Lodge? I lived in Portland for a year in '92/'93 and really enjoyed going up to the lodge both in the winter and the summer.

Thanks! Timberline was in the plans but because of a major winter storm warning starting the next afternoon with 60 MPH+ wind and an additional 2 to 3 feet of snow, we spent the night in Government Camp and then headed for the coast. It would have been fun to stay at Timberline during a winter storm but we didn't want to get stranded there for days. The prof, now associate dean, that Anna has done research with since her freshman year of high school took her to the lodge when they went snowboarding there in late February. Even at Government Camp, we were awakened every couple of hours all night by an excavator keeping the road and parking lot open.
The PNW really is a beautiful area and I look forward to many more visits there before Anna completes her undergrad. I did some consulting work with Tektronix in Beaverton in the early 1990s and loved the area back then. I retired from the university in 2015 but agreed to come back and teach a section or two of a senior level strategy course starting this spring but with the condition that I would be missing one class each semester since semester breaks don't seem to coincide between Illinois State U and the University of Portland

Yes, the PNW has a lot of natural beauty, as do parts of Washington state, and of course Montana, Wyoming etc. I haven't spent much time in New Mexico other than driving through the state with a 3-day stay at the St. James Hotel in Cimarron, NM. Hopefully you'll take lots of photos.Thanks!

I lived in Beaverton in '92/'93 and really enjoyed my time there. My wife was doing an internship at OHSU after she graduated from Uni and I was welding on building sites all over the Portland and surrounding areas. I have very good memories of that time and a Christmas spent with friends in Pendleton, OR.
We probably saw the end result of some of your welding craftsmanship in Portland
It is gorgeous there and the University of Portland is a great fit for Anna and her academic interests but it is a LONG way from Illinois! However I don't mind flying out to see her and it is nice that she found an environment where she is already engaged in academic publishing with several different faculty.
During her senior year of high school, we were headed out on a driving trip to look at several large universities in the southeast but UP was her top choice and just before we drove out of Illinois, she received an email with an acceptance offer and notification that she had been awarded a presidential scholarship to UP. So we turned the campus visit trip into a very nice and relaxing hiking trip to the Smoky Mountains instead.
Of course as a marketing PhD, I had to take Anna to the College of Business building on the UP campus because it is the nicest building on campus
But I don't think she will starve in the future after completing her education to the doctoral level in applied math.Rodger
A good reminder that I need to put out the feeder soon as we alternate between snow and warm! That is a beautiful photo!

Early morning, East Texas.
Probably spend the day clearing Privet Hedge off of a few fence lines. Could be worse. Some folks are still waiting for snow to melt.

And some photos from this morning of the excavating service doing spring creek cleaning for the drainage district. Shot with Canon 5DS R and EF 70-200 f2.8.

I assume that is the western sky? I was wondering last night what the really really bright "star" was.

Yes western, you could possibly be seeing Venus or Jupiter, or both. they are both really bright and lined up to see now.
If I had noticed Dishy McFlatface (Starlink), I would have known that was west. Since Dishy faces North when between the 40-49th parallel
I'm a guessing I see Jupiter. My western view is obstructed by trees like yours. I can't see much that is low on the horizon.

Very observant, I have both Dishy Mcflatface and Stinky (rectangle dish).
