This June Elaine and I visited the Oregon Garden, the 80-acre botanical garden in Silverton, Oregon. There are so many interesting plants from across the pacific northwest. I love all the sights, sounds, and smells there.

Frolicking with tulips on a perfect spring morning. This is post one of two, and it features the 50mm photographs.

An award-winning farm that ships irises all over world, with custom hybrid varieties that you cannot find anywhere else. If you are like me and love the smell of irises, this farm is a heavenly place to visit. Bring your nose!

A few months ago I took my beloved Canon AE-1 and some expired film around downtown Portland, Oregon.

We visited the fabulous tulip fields during one of the all-time coolest and wettest Aprils on record…

The main focus of the collection is Cold War, but there are pieces from throughout aviation history…

With a blast of autumnal colors…

Quite surreal, and judging from the many other photographers there, quite photogenic…

A tree-lover’s heaven! Good thing I am a tree lover…

One of — if not the very —best waterfalls in Mount Rainier National Park…
