There's a section of the forest that was infested with a beetle, but they weren't allowed to spray, which meant the trees died...and then...a forest fire. These next pictures show a dead forest in the background and the new growth. It's very hauntingly beautiful.
And, then there is Bend... A beautiful city, surrounded by snow capped mountains. The Three Sisters being the most famous.
We didn't float down the river this time, but we have joined in the fun before, and will again. It's a gorgeous setting.
Lots of things to do, including a brick firepit, outdoor dining, concerts and lots of charming little shops.
The desert is beautiful, too. There were lots of flowers...all colors. These are our favorite.
Hopefully, there will be more short Getaways this summer. We had such a great time!!!

Wow, that is some incredible scenery! I could sit and look at that for hours. Hey, your blog looks real nice too!
So glad you were able to get away for even a short respite, Deb. I so love OR...and WA...the whole PNW, really. I miss it terribly, in fact. Anyway, the photos are beautiful! Is that the Columbia River?
