Oregon Gifts of Comfort and Joy: The Online Diary of a Central Oregon Grandmother

Welcome to the online diary of a Central Oregon Grandmother (me) who is busy celebrating the positive portions of her everyday life ... along with her best friend husband (Cary). It is quite an eclectic diary and I try to do my best to incorporate a little bit of history into many of my posts. Your visit to our piece of American Pie is greatly appreciated. This chatty Kathy posts frequently, so coming back to visit often is highly encouraged.

Friday's Photo Trip #1: Fall River Campground With Kylie

It was another beautiful day in the neighborhood yesterday, and Kylie and I hopped in the car and went on a drive, with the intent of taking lots of pictures on our mind. I had my big camera, she had my little camera, and our first stop was Fall River Campground off of South Century Drive not far from Sunriver. We parked on the road and walked down the driveway on the slippery snow to get to the river.

We took so many pictures, that I have decided to make them into a slide show. It will be at the top of the home page for awhile, and then will be moved to my Slide Show blog (found on the sidebar).

After we left here, we went to the Fall River Fish Hatchery, drove the back way to Sunriver, stopped at the second hand store and bought some books and a few other treasures, drove around Sunriver and then came home. What a great day yesterday was!

IF YOU SEE A SHADOW

If you see a shadow
And want to keep it near,
Point your trusty shooter
(Make sure the lens is clear);
Press with care the shutter,
Do not slam or sock it—
Then you’ll have a photo
To carry in your pocket!
