Some delightful photos around my home and area in Oregon.

The wheel thing is a part of an old hay rake, there would be a number the wheels on the hay rake, and it gets towed behind a tractor. The rake moves the cut hay into hedgerows to be bailed. I got a few of them and painted them.
I live in a small town between Mt. Hood and Portland called Eagle Creek.
Another hay wheel.
I put a sun face on this one.
I collect old farm gear.
In our yard.
More from around our house.
Our local park.
My next-door neighbor's barn.
Mt Jefferson from Mt. Hood.
More near our home.

The pups are coyotes. I have been tempted to climb to the top, a ski friend who died last year was in a Warren Miller movie skiing from the top of Mt. Hood, I have a few friends who have done that and have always wanted to.
Ok more photos from our yard, most of the land is in forest, and we have some areas we have not been on yet as they are across the creek. But the photos I post are from areas I have worked and or put roads in.

This is a local lake we like to go boating and kayaking on.
Taken at our local park, the ranger's house is our neighbor to the west, our creek runs into the creek that runs into this creek; this creek runs into the Clackamas river we like to raft, that runs into the Willamette river we like to boat that runs into the Columbia river we also like to boat, then into the ocean.
Right down the street is a rhododendron farm where I got all my rhododendrons for a very good price. This is the street in front of it showing the trees lining the road in front of the farm and the church.

Somethings personal about my wife and I; we like to do active sports, this is our boat (the one in front) on an island on the inside slew on Government Island on the Columbia River. I love to water ski and wakeboard. I also like photography; if you have not noticed, LOL. we play music and sing, and about a million other things.
On that same beach.
In the winter my wife and I do a lot of skiing, this is at the area we get our season pass at, Mt. Hood meadows.
This is on a double black diamond run "expert run", we like them steep.
This is the music room in our house.
Working on an animation to music.

Great pictures Tom. It is so different from where I live. For one, there aren't many open spaces with grasslands where I live. You have different plants and while there is imported deer on Molokai, there are no wild bears, foxes, cayotes, mountain lions or Canadian geese. On the Big Island there are wild pigs, goats, and turkeys, all of them alien species.
The trees in Oregon are so big and ancient. It is a very different view. I remember going to Portland with my friend but it was dark so I couldn't really see everything, but I was so amazed at the size of the pines and how many there were of them. And I could only see the tops from the I5.

The trees you see around Portland are small, the big ones are out of town. We have some old growth in the park down the road from us, this is where I took the photos here.
They get bigger than these trees but it gives you an idea; I posted one of the photos already; but it shows the size.
This tree died and was near our house, I would never cut down a live tree this big.

I grew up in the Rogue River Valley, Tom.
Many, many trips were made either down i5 or Highway 97 on trips from the north. Sometimes, I'd start down 97 and cross over to i5 in the Willamette Valley. Lots of big pines crossing the Cascades
!
For 3 years, I lived in Arcata, on the northern California coast. Redwood country! Oh, and when the dogwood and rhododendrons bloom . . .
