Roadside Oregon

Several years ago there was a bad forest fire around the Santiam Pass area.  This is just a photo showing how the area is recovering.

There is a Google Map of the area here.  You can tell from the satellite photo that the area has been affected by something. Seeing it in person lets you see the destruction and the rebirth of the area.

Again, not a photograph of a particular place in Oregon, just a photograph that was taken in Oregon.

Tulips from our yard.

This was taken at the water lily and koi pond at the parking area of Peterson Rock Garden.

Petersen Rock Garden is located at 7930 SW 77th St. in Redmond, OR. The Peterson Rock Garden is an interesting place to visit, although I think it was in its prime about 30 years ago…

You can find it on Google Maps here.

This could have been taken anywhere, but it was here in our backyard. It is here because I thought you might like it, and because it was taken in Oregon…

Plants that are wild and plants we cultivate are featured here. I try to shoot variety of plants, not just my favorites: Sunflowers, Tulips and Daisies.   Perhaps a wild rose or some colorful lichen will help fill the page…
