Dungeness for dinner, caught yesterday. Another reason to #LoveOregon. Although lobster remains superior.

Very fine rare book collection, & fabulous Aalto library. However, took the inlaws, rosarians, & they were baffled by the varieties in the rose garden. Turns out staff just "make up a name" when a tag gets lost. Plus, taxidermied cow & fallen propeller that killed cow. #LoveOregon

Spent a few days in big sky country by Summer Lake Oregon. Too cloudy to see the stars at night but will return some day for some star gazing. #summerlakehotsprings #bigskycountry #desertbasin #loveoregon

Even on a rainy day, there’s nothing like finding peace at the beach. #loveoregon #quarrycove

Needed some stress relief and took a hike. Thought I'd share. #UnwindInNature #LetItGo #WaterfallsOfOregon #LoveOregon

One of the prettiest spots on the planet! #loveoregon

Nature always helps me feel better. I live in the PNW & I am grateful for all the beauty. On the way to see Suzy Eddie Izzard, I stopped at Sahalie Falls because it's one of my favorite places.

Landscape of cattle range. Rolling golden hills, old fencing, a square timber box of rocks that anchors the fence in foreground. Vast sky, slatey down low, with lots of clouds grey on bottom and white on top. Blue sky peeking through above. Zumwalt Prairie, Wallowa County, NE Oregon.

Made it to Zumwalt yesterday. Still pretty.

Still beyond words for spaciousness, vast spread of rolling golden hills, rugged snowy peaks, endless sky.

So lucky we get this place as home for a month. #TNC #Caretaking #LoveOregon

Living in the Willamette (wuhLAMMet) Valley means you don't have to shovel snow, but you can get to snow by driving an hour. Best of both worlds. #LoveOregon

Oregon Outback is now the largest Dark Sky Sanctuary in the world A swath of southern Oregon is considered one of the best stargazing spots in the country.

#LoveOregon I even love walking across a gravel parking lot at midnight in cougar country to pee, because the sky is shimmering bright from the Milky Way. Few things more glorious. www.oregonlive.com/travel/2024/...

Oregon cheese ranks among the best in the world in international competition Tillamook dominated the sharp cheddar category at the competition.
