Today Steve and I went on a bike ride and this time I remembered to take my camera!! We stopped at a Rogue River boat launch and while Steve kicked back to relax and listen to an audio story, I wandered happily along the bank with my camera in hand! There were many lovely things to take pictures of! I especially like these dried-up Snowberries with fun, artsy bokeh behind. You guys would have laughed to see me forcing my way into the bushes to get this angle! One misstep and I'd have tripped and landed in the river or face-first in a blackberry bush, ack! So I was very, very careful while I got into position. I couldn't get all the way around, so some of the berries are in the shade, but I captured the glowing translucence of the sun shining through! YAY!

Marcus Tullius Cicero ( 3 January 106 BC – 7 December 43 BC) sometimes anglicized as Tully was a Roman philosopher, statesman, lawyer, orator, political theorist, consul and constitutionalist. He came from a wealthy municipal family of the equestrian order, and is widely considered one of Rome's greatest orators and prose stylists. Wikipedia: Cicero
