A glimpse of this year's tulip festival in Woodburn, OR

A glimpse of the tulips fields at this year's tulip festival Woodburn, Oregon 2011
We went to the tulip festival yesterday in Woodburn, OR with a friend and wandered up and down row after row of blooming tulips. I highly recommend checking this spectacle out before the blooms fade in May, but bring your mud shoes or you'll be sorry!

Josephine Young Memorial Park, Oregon

This inlet has hundreds and hundreds of stumps lodged in the sand. At high tide they're all but invisible except for a few on the shoreline. We call it the graveyard. At low tide it's a lot of fun to explore. At high tide you work with what you were given to work with!

"The Three Graces" in Garibaldi, Oregon


We have always driven past this area but this time we stopped to check it out. We will most assuredly be back, hopefully with better lighting!

Newport, Oregon

We recently made a trip out to Newport, Oregon. If you're into fishing boats and brewpubs, this is the coastal town for you.

Kite Flyer takes 1st place in "Celebrating Oregon" category of the Oregonian!

I'm pretty excited for the April 17th Sunday edition of the Oregonian newspaper! This image, taken at Cape Kiwanda in Oregon, was taken last year on a typically freezing summer day at the beach. I love that this girl is wearing sandals and a warm winter coat! Kids don't feel the cold, do they?

Yaquina Bridge, Newport OR

This is a view from under the Yaquina bridge in Newport, Oregon. We were there last weekend for what seems to be the last of the sunshine for the next week! About 20 seconds after I took this picture, it hailed! Just another spring day in Oregon...
