We heard it's #FossilFriday so we thought you'd like to feast your eyes on Oregon's State Fossil, the Dawn Redwood (Metasequoia). The fossils are at @JDFossilBedsNPS.
Once thought to be extinct, Dawn Redwoods are used for landscaping here. But wild stands are endangered.

Found in the @OregonArchives, here's a photograph of people hop picking in September of 1905. The peak hop picking times in the Willamette Valley are between August and September. These will later become an important part of the beer making process. #TheMoreYouKnow #tbt
