The Corvallis Saturday Farmer’s Market
What is so great about the Farmer's Market each Saturday here in Corvallis, Oregon?
We have the street performers
Gumbo (above) is a local ( completely stunning ) band, we have seen them play at tons of different locations, and they never fail to impress and even bring the most reluctant toes to a tap. To hear Gumbo, go to the Wild Rose Artists website and click on the link to Gumbo on the bottom left, so fun for the whole family to listen to. Listen up! Enjoy.
Produce like you could never get at the grocery store
Hundreds of happy buyers
And just as many hungry eaters
The boys' favourite part when it is warm is the fountain
The perfect Saturday local adventure!
What do you like to do on weekends were you live?

Dreadlock Girl Photography Tips: The Basics
1.) Go digital this should be completely obvious, but some are probably hanging on to those dear relics of the past. Take the plunge, you will never go back.
2.) Take a ton of pictures. my photography teacher in highschool said “Take a million pictures, one is bound to turn out”. I still take a lot of pictures, and even when I think I have it I take some more. You never know what is a little out of focus or when someone has their eyes closed. If you have a camera where you can mess with the settings, mess every shot, you never know the experiments that will stun you!
3.) Know your camera. This is a big mistake, you get a camera and just start shooting, you don’t know what half the buttons are for or why your pictures are all dark or yellow. Read the manual!!! If you don’t you’ll really be missing out.
4.) Keep your camera with you always. Don’t be afraid of shooting all the time. I take my huge camera everywhere, and it is annoying to bring (and keep track of) but the images I get that I never even thought of are priceless.
5.) Don’t be shy. This one I have a hard time with, there is a fine line between shooting unobtruseively, and taking pictures and monopolizing the moment with your clicks and beeps. Be natural, let them be natural the pictures end up way better than you could have imagined. But, don’t be too shy to get your camera out at all times, I have to fend off shyness when it comes to shooting, but I don’t regret the pictures I get.

out with grandma and grandpa jackson
I found the computer chord, and finally got some pics off my camera...YAY!
Here are some of Grandma and Grandpa Jackson with the boys, a couple days before they left for Spain. Fun times!
wooden puzzle fun
Jackson loves this wooden puzzle that he got( thanks langs!!it really is perfect)...I tried to disguise the poor quality of pictures from my camera phone by editing a little on the first one. I think it looks pretty neat. You can see the finished product better in the second pic. I love doing things like this with j, pretty soon o will be old enough to do things like this too!
one butterfly, complete!
