Local community members scurrying around Bose family farm pumpkin patch and corn maze 10/16/21. They also had a Pumpkin washing station and set props for the fun family photos. When you go through the corn maze for $5 person there is a scary crow scavenger hunt that if completed enters you to win a hog donated by a local butcher. 

The farm has plenty of wheel barrels for hauling your pumpkins to be purchased and washed. They accept debut/credit transactions as well as cash. This is a local community member Karl wheeling his families pumpkin picks to the purchase booth.

There were pumpkins of all varies types and sizes. Landon here was having fun choosing his perfect pumpkin. [last name was not willingly given.]

Some kids had a harder time choosing the right one like David here. [ last name was not willingly given.]

Behold the horizon and breathe. 

About Me

 Hi my name is Kari Shaw. I am local to Oregon born and raised. I love this state. I have three children and I was fortunate enough to marry my best friend. We have been together since 2006. Although I wear many hats my family is everything to me. I'm in touch with my spirituality and  practice light work. I have an innate ability to be empathic.  My astrological sign is cancer, a water sign. I love the moon and the cosmos.  I use them for guides in my life.  My major is Psychology. I am on track to graduate after winter term and then move onto Western University to get my BA in Psychology. I'm studying to one day be a Marriage and Family Therapist. I'll also own and operate a couples retreat and private practice on my property. 


I'm taking this course because it was one that caught my interest will sifting through required course for my degree. I am excited to be in JN134. Since the first day I have been forced out of my comfort zone its been good for me. I have no experience with a camera and tend to take only pictures to post on my social media profile usually selfies. One thing I enjoy even on my personal time is gazing at pictures [and art] to try to interpret it. Just reflect on it. My top three goals is to step out of my comfort zone when it comes to photography, learn more about interpreting photos, and how to use of a camera. I am also enjoying the novel Mr. Priewe has us reading on photojournalist Lindsey Addario.
