Oregon Lavender Festival

Each year Tracy ( my husband) and I attend the lavender festival at the Oregon lavender farm.

The event was in its 9th year! Amazing I have gone to all but maybe one. The first year there was pretty much old buildings, fields of lavender with a gorgeous view of mt. hood. Each year the improvements to the property get better and better. It's become a very welcomed get haven for those who attend.

Spring is coming

Ahhahaha Spring is approaching fast. Love the color of these beautiful flowers 

Beautiful rainy day in Oregon City

Oh end of winter going into spring here in Oregon.

Literally raining, I mean down pour one minute, then overcast sunshine the next.

I have to say I love it! This is what makes our state so beautiful!

Below is a close up photo of willamette Falls in Oregon City.

Here is Geese in Clackemette Park just along the Willamette River

Oh look a seagull, just posing for a picture.

Overall a beautiful day in Oregon

Playing with filters

Playing around with my different settings on my camera, I tweeted the colors to show the purples in the photo. My original photo is below. 

Played with options in my photo shop app on my iPad, love the looks from the different filters to the same photo

Loving the creative aspects of the different filters and how they can change a photo just like that!

Bee

Love this photo of the bee, Tracy and I were at the Oregon lavender festival. We were sitting back enjoying music, when this bee started crawling around on the flowers, just by chance this little fella faced me in flight just as the shutter closed. 

4th of July fireworks in Molalla Oregon

Always love watching fireworks each year. 

Getting the chance to sit with my husband with no kids was amazing 

Though I have to admit I miss the days of Being with the kids, the oo's and ahhs

Old barns

I love the look of old barns. The one above was an old cabin that use to sit on the property before my grandparents built their house way back in the 50's

This barn is on a neighbors piece of property, I loves how the sun was setting just so behind the barn.
