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.

Shadow Shot Sunday #146 : Summerfest in Bend, Oregon 2010

For today's Shadow Shot Sunday, I decided to pull out some shadow shots from last summer. Each year, downtown Bend has a festival called Summerfest ... as I watch the snow come down outside right now, it is good to remember that it does get hot and sunny here in Central Oregon. We just have to wait it out!

For all the pictures that we took that day, please check out the slide show at the top of the page.

I am entering this post into Tracy's Shadow Shot Sunday over at "Hey Harriet!" Please take a moment to look at beautiful shadow photos from around the world.


If you miss a day, you miss a lot! Don't miss out on the news ... Please click here to go to my home page and see what is happening in Mayberry today.

forgetmenot said...: I love that first shot--very different and creative. I've been pulling out shots from the past too because I wanted somethings with color in them and that is still hard to come by. It has warmed up considerably and you can tell Spring is right around the corner. I'm anxious to take some shots of pretty spring flowers. Have a great weekend. Mickie; March 5, 2011 at 12:01 PM

Ralph said...: This looks like a great place for a festival, a place for food, music and beautiful and fun attractions. The amount of seating suggests many will be there on a beautiful summer day. A gathering of fun seekers...; March 5, 2011 at 2:24 PM
Hey Harriet said...: What a super collection of photos! That Summerfest event sure looks fun! I'm smitten with the first photo!

PS - your link in Mr Linky wasn't working. Well, it was working, but it was a link to my blog. I just corrected it now so that it will transport folk to your blog :)

Enjoy the rest of your weekend Kathy!; March 5, 2011 at 7:45 PM
