September
It was a great month.
Flowers were still so beautiful.
It looked like a beard.
Our pet once and awhile showed up this summer. Sometimes it hopped out of the watering can when I tried to fill the can.
In September we had again some smoky days.
Renee won a price for reading BINGO.at the Public Library here in town.
September was also the month we went traveling.
Our niece Corina went again with Janet and myself on a road trip. This time we did the Oregon Coast and into California to see the Redwoods and then to Crater Lake in Oregon.
A great trip with so many things to see and enjoy. Oregon is beautiful. We had no specific plan on how far we had to travel everyday. That was very relaxing. There was one night we had a hard time to find a motel room to our liking. Three single persons who each like a bed. But we found one. The reasons that it was so full, because of all the fire-fighters in the area with all the fires going on.
This is the Tillamook Lighthouse.
Along the way we encountered this big rocks sticking out of the water. They have a name but I do not remember them. Lets call them 'the watchmen'
When we were driving South the weather sometimes was quite windy which added to the beauty of it all.
The other two traveling 'diva's'
We stopped at a glass-blowing place.
The bathroom counter was made of waste colored glass pieces. Looked beautiful.
We did not buy anything. We took some pieces outside out of the flowerbeds.
Instead of bark or rocks they had it filled with discarded pieces.
We stopped also at a woodworking place.
On the inside we could not take a picture or we did not dare to do that because the man himself was there.
Another lighthouse on the way. It was a little bit of a hike to go to this one and we decided not to do that.
Corina climbing up a sand-dune
Our car did well and we did not have to go to this kind of transportation.
A different kind of store or studio. He had some pieces of a certain tree and put it with a little bit of water and it starts to sprout out. He also had some very expensive recorders in the store. Well over 30 thousand dollars. He let me play one. To my regret I do not know much anymore on how to play one as only do-re-mi etc. and a little bit of Psalm 42
It is small but it is wild-life.
Here we are in the Redwoods in California.
Giant trees. Magnificent.
This one was done with growing.
The road through some places in that Redwood Park were kind of narrow sometimes.
Part of it is from the covered wagon trail. The Oregon Trail
Visiting Crater Lake and in the visitor Center we met relatives from Maple Ridge, BC.
Surprise! Surprise!
This first picture is on one side of the Lake and
this picture is the following day on the other side of the Lake
and this one too, It is so beautiful there.
Then we came by I5 again and slept in Roseburg.
There is close by a Safari Park and we checked that out. It took a few hours to go through that.
Another animal. Have a lot more animal pictures but don't want to bore anybody with that. Some might end up into greeting cards
This is a part where the fires have gone through. This picture does not show it so good.
We need a sunset in here as well.
This was in Seaside,. and that morning we had to say "good bye" to our ocean.
I agree with this bird. You can sit and stare for hours at the ocean. It can be stormy with its beauty and it can be so peaceful.
This is the Lighthouse at Fort Worden.
The birds that morning had a meeting here in the next picture.
This was next to the Lighthouse.
Mount Baker from the ferry.
Some fall colors were coming.
We had such an awesome trip and the best driver you can find,
We are so very thankful that the three of us can make those trips.
Who knows what our next one will be. This one I can do again in a heartbeat.
