Oregon Summers

I got a new camera while Samara was here. (She wanted to take it home with her) I'm having so much fun experimenting with what it can do. I call this shot "sunset over the clarifier."
We Oregonians put up with the rainfall in the fall, winter and spring so we can enjoy the Oregon summers. It takes all that rain to keep the green that is so beautiful.


While the rest of the country is sweating and sweltering in the heat, we stroll the beach in sweatshirts. If it gets to 80 degrees in the summer, we start complaining about the heat wave.

Our deal with God is that summer is a payoff for nine months of rain, wind and gloom. We look forward the sun and warmer temperatures in the summer. As soon as the temperature gets above 59 degrees, we are out on our bikes, shorts, and sandals. Here is Monday's sunset.

Here is Tuesday's sunset. Hey - I thought we had a deal!
