journey images

Little Man spontaneously began calling our recent 2,000 mile road trip to Oregon a "journey," which I thought was quite appropriate. Here are a few of my favorite shots from the trip. (Ahem, uh, what I mean is that this is a long, photo-y post; please bear with me.)

ducks (those black specks)

on the Columbia River

just one fragment of the stunningly beautiful Columbia River Gorge

Little Man was thrilled to watch the big equipment

that was working just across the street

from one of our lunch stops.

at an elk view point

near Elkton, Oregon

(who would have thought?) : )

Grandpa and Brother at the elk view point.

(I used to ride like this when I was much smaller;

brings back memories.)

lopsided bull at the elk viewpoint

(hooray for long camera lenses!)

(It was Brother's first exposure to the ocean; he loved it!)

Sweet Pea and me at the ocean.

drift wood

bridge beams

two of my friend's tiny goats

(these little fellows were just four days old)

Brother was enchanted.

Little Man loved them too.
