Cruzan for a Boozin’

Yep, the cat’s out of the bag; we’re cruisin’ for a boozin’. #cruzanrum #boozing #catoutofthebag

A gaping gully waited to gobble golf balls between the t-box and the narrow ribbon of the 17th fairway at Highlander Golf Course. It was a daunting challenge for one who last golfed about 20 years ago. With quiet determination, I held the club firmly and concentrated on the swing. The club hit the ballContinue reading “Where Golf Balls Go to Die”

Bridge Over Falling Waters

We just had to stop to admire the beauty of this “Bridge Over Falling Waters.” And it was not troubled, not troubled at all. (with apologies to Simon and Garfunkel) Photo by Fairy #multnomafalls #waterfall #bridge #notrouble

Cider Vision

A topsy turvy world appeared through the glass of cider with distant mountains and golden clouds in an amber sky turned upside down. It mattered little, for as the liquid lowered in the glass, the landscape returned to normal, and it was I, not the view that was a little tipsy. #tipsyturvy #cider #amberliquid #tipsy

Say “Ah…”

We stopped recently at Sacagawea Historical State Park at the confluence of the Snake and Columbia rivers and saw this cruise ship with a gangplank protruding from its gaping bow to allow passengers to go ashore. It came from Portland, Oregon, on the Columbia River and was headed to Clarkston, Idaho, 150 miles farther upContinue reading “Say “Ah…””

Burrow Snake

Small rodents dug passageways under the snow on the flanks of Mount Hood during the winter creating what are known as subnivean tunnels. As the snow melted, debris washed into those tunnels leaving a cast of the original passage that resemble snakes. Fortunately, those “snakes” don’t bite, but they can be startling at first glance.Continue reading “Burrow Snake”

Tiny Woodland Wonder

While trees towered overhead in the late afternoon at the Banks-Vernona State Trail, sunbeams spotlighted this miniature forest as if by magic. I could almost imagine a giggling pixie peering back at me from somewhere behind the leaves but then again, I am partial to Fairies. #fairyforest #pixies #fairies

It’s all fun and games…

…unless you are on State Highway 212. #funandgames #boring #highway212 #oregon
