Kids in the Neighborhood (free shot)

 

November 6, 2020, the Peterson kids (Joe in green shirt, Sarah jumping Millie in yellow, Jack in white) are playing outside on this chilly afternoon. They are playing outside of their house and enjoying each other's company. They take turns playing with the jump rope and singing some rhymes while doing so.

They pulled out their bikes and scooters, going up and down the street. They claim "our mom doesn't like us to go too far, so we just go down to the corner and back." They are willing to let each other use the different bikes and scooters. I asked them when they got their vehicles and they say different holidays such as birthdays and Christmas, which brings up a new conversation about the next month of winter. 

Jack Peterson says that he loves his bike but doesn't like to ride it in the cold. He said he will probably stop riding it for a little bit but will get back on once the air gets warmer.

My Hometown: Newport

  This is the Yaquina Bay Lighthouse, a landmark in Newport, Oregon. It is used as a museum now, although tours are closed due to Covid-19. The lighthouse was built in 1871, right after Newport was founded. It is the only lighthouse in Oregon with the living pace still attached. This seagull is relaxing on this cloudy midday, November 13th. With a storm coming, this seagull is preparing for rough living conditions. Since Newport is the coast, big waves and strong winds and rain are dangerous threats to the wildlife here. However, it also means more fish coming closer to the shore and more food for this little guy! In this crazy time, there are tourists coming to look at and take pictures of the huge waves. While in Newport, this family tries to get some views of the whales, however this might be very difficult because water is so rough.

By running it for a minute or two, she can depict whether or not it needs to be refilled or checked. She is studying sociology at Linn Benton and says she enjoys all of her classes and teachers, and she puts much of her time into studying.
