Waves Meeting in the Middle

One of the cool things about this particular overlook along the Samuel H. Boardman Scenic Corridor was that this particular sea stack was large enough that rather than the waves breaking over it, they just sort of went around it, in a circular route, and then met up again on the other side, breaking against each other. You can see a bit of that in the photo above, but better in the one below.

Fireworks at Oregon Garden

posted in: Landscape, Night Life 5

Since I was actually home for the long holiday weekend, and we had a friend staying with us, we decided to check out the fireworks show up at the Oregon Garden in Silverton, OR. We are members and have enjoyed some time wandering around the gardens previously (photos from that are coming eventually too!), so it seemed like a fun way to spend the evening of July 3rd, and in fact, it really was. We got there early and treated ourselves to the buffet dinner, which was fabulous, and then grabbed up a few seats in the garden next to the resort, where we could watch the sunset, and then the fireworks. Not too shabby!

Fireworks!

And, if you’re interested in some video, my iPhone was handy for that as well.
