Sunday Summer Scenes

We enjoying a very lazy Sunday today so we're going to show you some scenes from around our city that might require a double take. We'll start with this statue that looks pretty predictable right? Did you predict this?
On the Oregon State University campus we find this trailer proudly stating that they are Supporting Student Athletes... As for supporting our state, they prefer to support Arizona... And finally, here's our city's aerial fire engine...
It goes 104 feet (32 meters) up in the air...
That's was our Mommy way up there in that bucket! She's the short one on the left! The tall one on the right is our Grandpa from Kansas... Good thing there wasn't a fire alarm while she was up there!

Hope you enjoyed our photos while we enjoyed our nap!

Summer Scenes

We're going to spend today relaxing so we thought we'd share some photos of the summer scenes in our neck of the woods.

There were hundreds of butterflies up on Mary's Peak but they sure don't sit still long. This little guy eventually did though...

Summer on the coast means happy dogs!

There's lots on the Birdie Network in the summer too!

The Boys of Summer are fun for the beans to watch...

These guys are fun to watch too...

The best summer scene is us in a sunbeam!

We hope you enjoy the scenes in your part of the world today! Have a great Sunday!

Summer Scenes

We're relaxing and napping this Sunday so we thought we'd share some scenes from around our area with you! The Farmer's Market is every Wednesday and Saturday downtown. They don't allow dogs there anymore after someone saw a dog sniffing some veggies. We're not sure what's wrong with that but they keep saying "Hi Gene". Anyway, here's some peppers with no nose prints on them!

Mommy and Daddy picked peaches last weekend. They smell really good and are in a big box that we get to play with when the peaches are gone! That might be awhile because they picked 29 lbs of them! Needless to say Mommy and Daddy are eating a lot of peach salsa, peach smoothies, grilled peaches and just plain ol' peaches!

They saw this dirt devil on the way home from the peach orchard. This is about the only kind of "tornado" that Mommy can handle anymore.

They also saw some goats but of course they didn't want their picture taken. Wonder if they know our blog friend Priscilla?

Well, we hope you enjoyed some of our local summer scenes! We're going to go back to our nap but wish you a wonderful Sunday!

Summer Scenes

After a week of staying inside due to very hot, record breaking temperatures outside, we ventured out to see what is happening in our city this weekend. First stop, an art show on the grounds of our beautiful county courthouse.

Next we went to a local park to see the rose garden,

and huge trees.

Pictures cannot do these mammoth trees justice.

It happened to be the wedding day for a happy couple.

Wouldn't she be surprised to know she's on my blog!

Thanks for taking a trip around town with me!

Hope you have a wonderful Sunday!

Summer Sunday and Some Sincere Thanks!

We're enjoying a relaxing summer Sunday but wanted to share some summer scenes from the Oregon coast. A trip to the coast always includes seeing sea gulls such as this one at Seal Rock:

Summer was a little slow in getting here this year but it finally made it! It's not too hot and still often cloudy but it feels like summer which means relaxing in the sun

Beautiful roses

Sunny beaches

Cool morning breezes

And gorgeous blue skies and scenery such as Mt Hood

Summer is a wonderful time of year in the Pacific Northwest. We hope it's just as wonderful in your neighborhood!

Summer Scenes

Today we are going to share some summer scenes around our area. You'll notice a theme in that they all include birdies! So, sit back, relax and enjoy the scenery and we'll enjoy the birdies!

Mommy and Daddy went to the coast recently and saw this seagull at the jetty in Florence, OR with the Sand Dunes in the background. At a local grocery store, there are lots of ducks hanging around a small pond at the edge of the parking lot. These two got pretty close to the store though. There's a big pond on the campus of where our daddy works that has lots of ducks. Mommy made Daddy feed them some of the bread they got at the farmer's market when they came up to them. They know a sucker when they see one (or two)! It's a mama duck, Daisy, and her baby, Donald! Even we'll admit that Donald Duck is pretty cute! As for these birds, well, they're just along for the ride! Get it! Oh I just quack myself up! Hope you enjoyed these summer scenes all featuring our favorite birdies! Hopefully you get to see birdies in your neighborhood today too!
