Photos From Last Summer

I feel an avalanche of photos getting ready to tumble down off my hard drive. It's 1:31am, a perfect time to do some blogging. Outside my window the night is quiet and dark. A large hardback book (Martin Guitar Masterpieces) sits between my laptop and my lap. I've been going through my bike tour photos and now it's time to share.

Janice really enjoyed this sign. I have no idea what this race is about, but it looks like it will be in August this year.



Portland, Oregon. This horse wasn't going anywhere.











Banana slug. Oregon coastal forest. Our second site for tree sampling. We had to watch where we were walking. These creatures get really big (upwards of 9 inches!) although this little guy was probably only about 5 inches.



Thank goodness for hostels and old guitars.











At the end of the tour, after 100 days in the sun, the cap was more pink than red.




















Living green. My favorite color in the world.












Juggling containers of yogurt in the supermarket. I couldn't help myself.




A ball bearing I found on the side of the road in Oregon.











Central Oregon. I took a bunch of photos here. This place was a true major chord. It reminded me of The Shire from Peter Jackson's The Fellowship Of The Ring.
