It is not yet spider time, but there are plenty of bees.

Beautiful pictures Alice, thank you
It's plenty of wasps/bees here too. They have left their nests, "buzzing" around half dead. It's easy to get a wasp/bee sting if we are not aware

I have a thing about taking pictures of bees

I do not know what this flower is -- I need to figure it out. It may be invasive and it can definitely grow in a tiny crack in the pavement. -- This is in my parent's neighbourhood. I don't think there is any in mine.

Today -- Wednesday 06 Septermber -- I went to the beach, mostly to look for beach birds but we also just enjoyed the day -- sun and fog at the shore.

Beautiful photos, alice
It seems you had a good day at the beach with great views!
A few days ago I saw here in BR TV program a travelling magazine and people were in Oregon, it was wonderful there!
I´ll go and have a look to remember which route they took .....
edit:
Got it now - this is the link to BR mediathek - sorry, in German only
http://mediathek-video.br.de/B7Mediathe ... ccode=both
The route was Portland - Pendleton - Baker City - Bend - Crater Lake - Florence - McMinnville
If somebody had asked me to pack my suitcase and go there immediately I would have said "YES"

Bea I am sorry I thought I had responded -- I do think Oregon is beautiful (if we could have European cities -- denser population and smaller it would be pretty near perfect.)
I had to look up Baker City because I do not know much about it although I once took an Arts Management class with a guy from there.
I did not find the right program -- but I watched one that seemed to be set in the Alps -- very beautiful

So although I am kind of admitting that it is now autumn.
I thought I might post a last spring/summer image or two -- taken not too long ago.

Finally Some Up-dates
Oregon Spring 2016
This winter in the Willamette Valley was mild and wet.

This one looks like winter (I think we use this for Christmas decoration) but this photo was taken this spring.

I have forgotten what these are -- they are a perennial, which dies back to nothing or almost nothing in the winter, then they grow to about a meter tall and make pretty delicate flowers. I was working hard to pull english ivy out of the bed.
another one I don't know what it is ... but I love it. It grows under my neighbour's Magnolia

More Flowering Quince ---
They bloom after most of the earliest bulbs are finished, but before most of the rest of the flowers and my hummingbirds love them -- so I love them too.

Magnolia
The previous flowering tree grows beneath this one.
This little tree lives across the street from me.
There are hundreds of dandelions in my yard.
