On Saturday, I visited an organic farm in Colton, Oregon. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colton,_Oregon)
It was a beautiful day! Here are some of the pictures….

On Wednesday, I drove to the Sellwood area of Portland, Oregon. Near the Sellwood Bridge is an amusement park, called Oaks Park. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oaks_Amusement_Park & http://www.oakspark.com/)
The amusement park is more than 100 years old and one of the oldest operating amusement parks in the nation.
When I arrived, the amusement park was emptying (from an end of school year party for middle school kids). So I walked around taking pictures, as the amusement park was closing down for the day.
I entered through a nice park/picnic area, which overlooks the Willamette River.
A train runs around the area…
There were lots of rides….
the Carousel….
the Scream’n’ Eagle…
the Rock & Roll…
the Rock-O-Plane…

As I drove across Oregon, I turned off Highway 26 to visit the Pelton Dam. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelton_Dam)
The drive to the dam was beautiful!
The dam….
Lake Simtustus (on the high side of the dam)…

I traveled through central Oregon on Highway 26. As I approached Prineville, I felt delighted to see the Ochoco Reservoir. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ochoco_Dam & http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prineville,_Oregon)

Here are some beach photographs of Florida and Oregon. Two very distant areas – and equally beautiful!

I love a good sunset!
These sunsets were photographed in 1998 around the Portland and Salem area. I used film and printed by hand on photographic paper – the old fashioned way. (A scanned copy is shown below.)

On July 4th, 1998, I was sitting in my apartment and heard loud bangs. I looked out the window and say gorgeous fireworks in the sky. So I jumped in the car and chased the lights. About a half mile away was a large fireworks display.
(These images were developed the old fashion way and printed on paper. Below are scans of these photographs.)

I love dandelions. (Taken in Viroqua, Wisconsin)
On my way back from Nehalem (on the Oregon coast), I pass by these signs. I love the way the “sunken grade” sign has sunken….
In my friend’s driveway (in Peebles, Ohio) was a school bus. Not an old, out of commission bus, but a real one. She is a bus driver and that’s where the bus is parked at night….
I loved the beauty of the textures and colors in this rock wall (in the Gainesville, Georgia area).
The Tampa Bay area (in Florida) is a very windy place in winter.
I was at a music performance in Mohler, Oregon when I saw the lights.
Every year, the small town of Manzanita, Oregon hosts a large July 4th parade. Starting the night before, people set their chairs up and leave them. By parade time, there are hardly any spots to be found.

In a natural area on the outskirts of Manzanita, Oregon, some ducks stroll by.

Flowers, from the northwest corner of Oregon… (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oregon)
Tigard, Oregon –
Milwaukie, Oregon –
My 5 and 7 year old friends and I like to give flowers a little more life when they are wilting. So we remove their stems, fill their “Kiddie pool” with water, and place the flowers in. We call it the “flower pond.”
