Description

Hi Everybody! I had a wonderful time at Jill's, and now I'm home, safe and sound. I'm tired and a bit bedraggled (much like my heron friend, here!) but boy, did I have a good time!! :) (The heron is from a day at the beach at Edmonds, Washington, and has nothing to do with my vacation to Oregon, other than how he looks is pretty much how I feel!) The West Coast had quite the little heat wave this weekend. We had planned on temperatures in the mid-70s when I booked my flight, but it was over 90F every day I was there. Yikes! Central Oregon is high desert (and it's a DRY heat!), but still - that's really hot. I'll be posting pictures of the wonderful places we saw, but not tonight! It took forever just to load all my photos from my camera to the computer. I shot 991 images in three days!!! Thanks to Jill (JillianElf) for a great weekend. I had SUCH a good time! :)

I'm glad you are back home so that you can now download your pictures and share them with us. I love seeing Oregon through the eyes of its vistors. This is one of the best all time bird shots ever. I've never seen a poor bird look this bedraggled. This is rather how I felt after my physical therapy this morning ...I can really identify with the poor thing.

Oh yeah, smart bird...it meekly obeyed the robber when he shouted "hands up, and gimme yur money!" Kind of hard to do when you have your wings raised. Either that, or it's saying, "come on over here Tara, and I'll give you a big hug!" Anyway, I think this is a pretty good capture of the heron. I like the textured ocean lapping at the shore. And 991 shots during your sabbatical? Happy postwork, my dear! Can we say, 20-picture collages? Anyway, get some needed rest, so you can unbedraggle yourself to post nonstop shots of your junket.
