Summer is a time of relaxing, travel, family and fun for me. I love being outside enjoying the warm weather (and we actually got some this year...). During a recent trip to Canada, I found some more scenery that inspired me to take photographs... like that takes anything too awesome. Most are taken on the fly as we drove by - it's more challenging than stopping to take that perfect picture!!

I have been accused of being obsessed by water as I spend the summer in Oregon after being in Arizona for 6 months. I do miss the rivers, creeks, & falls that make Oregon so green... maybe not the puddles though! These pictures are taken on the Alsea River and at Alsea Falls.

When I was growing up in Eastern Oregon, I linked summer and wheat harvest. The sight of waving fields of golden grain, the smell of ripe wheat, the combines working their way through the fields... I've been privileged this summmer to return to that experience. Love it!

For wheat no more...
