Beautiful!

Great photos! Thank you for letting us see!

your beautiful country, sweetie -- my daughter went to school at Reed so I got to spend some time there

It is pretty here. I can't deny that.

Where was that first picture taken? I've never seen anything like that in person....it's beautiful.

the pic was taken up above the Columbia River Gorge just east (maybe 25 miles) of Portland OR

Man...that's around where my aunt lives. It's good for raising sheep up there too....I must convince James to move after he finishes school.

why wait -- go visit!!!

That is gorgeous!

It looks tropical!

I never thought of that, Mary, but you're right -- it, however, is definitely not, the pics are from the north west part of the US--Oregon -- not exactly tropical ;)

there are few things in this world so beautiful as the oregon coast.

*homesick*

yes, it really is pretty otherworldly -- the Maine coast is spectacular too but in a more subdued way

thanks, Col -- and I'm really impressed 'cause you don't use 'shit!' very often -- in fact, I can't recall...

Wednesday morning, before I left on my journey, I couldn't decide whether to head east or west. I went east. One of these days I'll make it out to the coast.

Do you remember which falls that is?

me? remember? hah!

it was up a, maybe, 2-3 mile trail that began near a spectacular (engineeringwise) bridge which had a peculiar name -- it may come back to me or possibly I have it recorded somewhere -- I'll look

OMG or would 'holy shit' be just as appropriate? -- we do get so caught up in this o/l lingo, huh?

you know what? I saw that 'fiftydecembers' had added me and being as paranoid as I am, I asked someone else (Paul) if he knew you -- haven't heard back from him yet...but now it doesn't matter :)))))))

thanks sooo much for the seeds but (if you followed or check back in my LJ) I'm no longer in NJ -- long story, I won't go into now -- so I don't know what happened to the seeds.................ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm*crying sound* *really sad face* -- grew a lot of marigolds here in MI this year (marigolds: my favorite weed ... in fact, I just collected and saved some seeds for next year)

so good to reconnect withya :)
