Beautiful Oregon, Allium Field.

Another drive this weekend in the farmland of Oregon.

I found this beautiful allium farm just south of Silverton.

Also passed a half dozen or so strawberry trucks.

You could see them coming piled high with flats of strawberries.

You could smell them going, as the strawberry scent wafted

into the open windows.  Best smell of the season.

Oregon, I love you.

I find myself deeper and deeper in love with this state I live.

Traveling around a bit this summer finds me in amazing places

that make me say, YES PLEASE.

I love this state with it's steep peaks, rolling hills, lush valleys,

rivers, creeks, and tree after tree after tree.

These daisies remind me of the film "Harold and Maude"

(one of my all time favorites)

I love Maude's quote about the beauty in all the differences.

 "Look. See, some are smaller, some are fatter, some grow to the left, 

some to the right, some even have lost some petals. 

All *kinds* of observable differences."

I hope you are finding places that inspire you and refresh you after the long winter.
