The idea of the My Town Shoot-Out is to post photos of your local community every Friday. This week's assignment was chosen by the Town Blogger Team.
All photos taken in or near Corvallis, Oregon.
These are a few of my favorite things. There are more, but this is certainly enough for now:
Walking in the fog
Ed 
Reub
Sandy beach at Newport
Black pebble beach at Newport 
Ferns in April
Rhubarb in May 
Local berries in June
Lavender field in July
Local rodeos in the summer
Autumn leaves, and bangles
The fact that my children are old enough to cook an amazing Japanese dinner for me on my birthday.
The sound of John's guitar
Chocolate covered almonds in the bulk bins
Frosted pretzels in the bulk bins
Anything in bulk bins.
Fresh flowers
A candle lit at breakfast
The sun
The moon
The rain
Animals with dark eyes
Moss
Snow that lies undisturbed
