Going to California

Tomorrow I am heading down south to California to visit some family. Last year when I went down, the entire city my grandparents live in was evacuated due to a wildfire. This is a picture that I took on the way out of town. Hopefully this visit will be less adventurous!!! I may post during my trip, but if not, see you again next Wednesday!!!

Salmon River Valley

Todays "My World" submission is the view from Hwy 26 heading up Mt Hood. We are looking west across the Salmon River valley, where I grew up.

Cooke Ranch

My Monochrome Monday picture today is an old one I took a few years back of the Cooke Ranch in Brightwood, OR. The ranch is off the beaten path. You drive down a back road through the woods, and all of a sudden the trees part, and grassy meadows are on both sides of the road. This old barn is one of a few clustered around the main house. I liked how the horses were so interested in what I was doing, and Mt Hood is peeking at me from over the hills in the distance.
