Now through May 10th, photography by Ron Shufflebarger is on exhibit at O’Brien Imaging, showcasing the pond’s natural beauty and wonder. Formerly a furniture designer, Ron found inspiration and peace with photography. After retiring to the area, Ron was presented with a new challenge--to capture the coastal range and the surrounding complexities of nature that may not be apparent to the minimalist eye. Guests of the exhibit can expect a photographic journey of Hult Pond with a focus on the landscape and juxtaposition of the subject at hand. Get a glimpse through his lens daily from 1 to 5 p.m., but be sure to call before you go, just in case. O’Brien Imaging represents a number of local photographers, providing a gallery space to share the wonder of nature and architecture in our area. Enjoy the photographic journey!

Think a curated take on the traditional market fusing a collection of stores and restaurants that just scream Eugene! Start the market day with a glass (or two) of local wine and indulge in our city’s character as you connect with the local community. Our must-shop stops include Velvet Edge, Made in Oregon, and Will Leather Goods. Don’t worry, there is something for everyone and a full list of shops can be found here to help navigate your way.  Shopping not your thing? Take a stroll through the public market. The native energy, scenery filled with florals and buzz of the market is more then enough to inspire and delight for the day. Make sure you leave room in your suitcase for any treasures you might find (and we have a feeling you will!).
