This is the fourth summer in a row that I have gone to Oregon. This state is pertinear perfect in the summer. The folks here complain when it gets into the 90s, but to a Central Californian, this is mellow summer weather.
There were so many paintable scenes, but never a place to even pull over to take photos. Some day perhaps I’ll not be in a hurry and take side roads and legions of pictures.
I was a passenger much of the time and shot a few scenes through the car windows. Not awesome photos, but paintable. However, I probably don’t have a customer base for these subjects.
There was much hanging around.
What is in this rose bush? Yikes, how will we retrieve it?
I learned a bit about Legos. Holy guacamole, the Lego company does brilliant marketing and has endless ideas about creating new products. When I was a kid, Legos were simply little blocks that hooked together.
The lack of sales tax tempted me beyond reason to stock up on a few items, and gas is sure more reasonable in this state.
Later, I’ll show you why I came to Oregon (besides visiting family.)

Wow! So where’s the creativity in that? Remember when we used to take an old shingle, stuck a stick on it, called it a boat, and watched it float down the East Fork of the Kaweah River? Good times!
I had a large lego set of just Lego bricks growing up. When they offered little doors and windows to build a real house I thought it was “The Bee’s Knees!” These days you can build the International Space Station or the Biltmore Estate with lego kits.
Sharon, my niece built a piano that PLAYS!!
