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.

The South Santiam River: Fernview Campground, November 2008

Fernview Campground ~ Oregon Gifts of Comfort and Joy ~ Kathy Matthews

A couple of years ago, Cary and I were coming home from a business trip in Salem, and took the back way home through Sweet Home. The road is old and winding, and the scenery is beautiful. We stopped to take some pictures at this campground. It was in November, so the leaves were off the trees. Sometime, I would really like to actually go camping here...but I won't be going in the water. For more info on this campground, please click here.

As always, you can click to enlarge these for better viewing.

WATERY SATISFACTION

Puddles of water and drops of dew—
What does it take to satisfy you?
A rushing river, a roiling sea—
That’s what it takes to satisfy me!

Hootin Anni said...: Gorgeous. Some of these, with the green moss and the color of the water reminds me of some of Bev Doolittle's artwork.

Incredible photos.
