Halibut and chips at Rogue in Newport, Oregon, with a really good Bloody Mary and a cup of clam chowder. Perfect after a hike and scenic view drive down to Oregon’s central coast.

Took a little walk around the grounds of the Thomas Cant Ranch; purchased in 1910, the Cants raised a large family and thousands of sheep and hundreds of cattle. It’s in such an incredibly beautiful spot.

And this area, the Foree trailhead with its VIBRANT greens was just incredible. I just loved all the things I learned about the region on this trip. DO visit! The towns are small and the country is big and beautiful.

The Painted Hills of Oregon! I walked 4 of the 5 short, mostly accessible trails the show off the colors beautifully. The evening before, as I returned from the Sheep Rock Unit, I drove through some pretty heavy rains. This is VERY unusual f it r this normally VERY dry area. There was some flooding in the region and I couldn’t do one of the longer hikes I’d planned. But the rain really brought out the colors beautifully the next morning!

The Thomas Condon Paleontology Center was the perfect place to begin exploring the John Day region. There are three separate areas, covering 14,000 acres. And trust me, the area includes a whole lot of beautiful, open, lonely space!

Road trip!!!! If you’re approaching the John Day

Road trip!!!! If you’re approaching the John Day region from the east (Idaho) your first stop, after filling the tank in Ontario, Oregon and getting on highway 25, may be Prairie City. Would have enjoyed more than a quick look but wanted to get to the Paleontology Center before they closed … so onward!

Here we go again! Another orchid blooming. Such a satisfying little joy, and I love how long the blooms last. Threw in a shot of another orchid still in full bloom, another with some sunshine through the window, and another of the always blooming shamrocks. Summer is finally here for #portland!

A moment of quiet peace! T’was supposed to be a productive day, but some days don’t end up as expected. And that’s okay; it was a lovely day and felt great to be out in the warmth and the sun.

The Snake River in Twin Falls, Idaho! This is just to the west of Shoshone Falls. Wonderful trails right in town, plus a paved path perfect for all. I’ve been here four times before but never while everything is still bright spring-green. Great spot! Watched kayakers down below and base jumpers off the Perrine Bridge.

So, a few things here: Anyone who knows me knows I’m not a shopper. I’m not good at it. I don’t like it. I like pretty things but I’m pretty much in and out, get what I need, I’m done. Browsing shops with girlfriends? No thanx! But there are those rare times when I’m just in the mood and browsing shops is just relaxing.

Okay, so back to Baker City, Oregon. This is a town of 10k people, People. And check out, truly just a sampling of the fun shops. And hey! I even found the perfect bday gift for a friend!
