The Friday My Town Shoot-Out is a chance to share pictures of your community. This week's theme was chosen by the Town Blogger Team, and marks the one-year anniversary of the group.Photos taken in Corvallis, Oregon.
I joined the My Town group on June 24, 2009, after getting a new pocket-sized digital camera and just 2 days before the theme of "Rainbows" was due. My first shoot-out was not great; I didn't have a single appropriate photo, and ended up snapping a picture of a torn-up dog toy belonging to Reub. Naturally, for weeks afterward I saw dozens of opportunities to take shots of rainbow colors! So here you go, here are some of those photo ops, and for every single one of them I thought "Dang! I wish I'd had this for that "rainbow" assignment!"

Yarn at the Farmer's Market
Wool at the Farmer's Market
Tee shirts at the Farmer's Market
Earrings at the local fair trade store
Butterflies at that same storeBecause of this assignment, I will continue to notice rainbows of color in my surroundings. In fact it is true of all of our assignments that my awareness of each topic has been heightened.
Thank you everybody!
Thank you everybody!
