Sunrise on the Mountains

As I was driving to work yesterday morning, I could see the sunrise starting to touch the tops of the mountains and a beautiful pink/lavender glow in the sky.  I took a small detour and went to the park to take photos at the river. Sometimes mornings like these take my breath away. Maralee

Pilot Butte with iPhone

Yesterday was one of those outstanding, summer-like days.  Clear skies, sunshine, warm air.  A perfect day for another walk up Pilot Butte - this time with my iPhone. Even thought it's about 130 miles away from Bend, on a clear day like this you can see Mt. Hood in the distance. Maralee

Hens and Chicks

My Hens and Chicks succulents are expanding and are starting to flower.  I love these plants and like that they are taking over my "desert-scape" area of my yard.  They don't need much water so they're perfect in that area. Maralee
