Camas Valley Fog

I could never get tired of seeing foggy country scenes. This was taken near a tiny community in Oregon.. Camas Valley, the same community as Monday's fog shot.

Fog in Fall

This was taken a couple weeks ago, on my way to the coast. This farm is in a small community called Camas Valley. I was in awe when I saw the fog rising from the ground. The soil was wet and the sun had just came out and was warming the soil and drawing out the moisture.



I've battled a nasty trojan over the weekend. It almost brought my computer to a stand still. I think I have most of it cleaned out but I still get some annoying popups.

Newport Bridge

I love the bridge in Newport. It is quite busy below the bridge as this is where the docks are and boats and ships are coming and going often.



The Yaquina Bay Bridge is an arch bridge that spans Yaquina Bay south of Newport, Oregon. It is one of the most recognizable of the U.S. Route 101 bridges designed by Conde McCullough.

The bridge opened on September 6, 1931, at a cost of $1,301,016. A total of 220 people worked to pour 30,000 cubic yards (23,000 m³) of concrete and fabricate 3,100 tons of steel.

The main span is flanked by identical 350 ft (107 m) steel arches. The rest of the structure is constructed of reinforced concrete.[2] One concrete deck girder forms the northern approach, and a series of 5 arches makes up the southern part of the bridge.

The details of the bridge are typical of McCullough's style.

Lookingglass Rd

More of those wonderful round hay bales. The town you see in the distance is Roseburg, my home town. Lookingglass is a little community out of Roseburg and this scene was taken from the top of a hill headed out on Lookingglass Rd

On The Road to Tyee

I really like the darker weeds mixed in with the dry grass here.



I'm changing the number of posts that show on the page from 10 to 3. Hopefully this will help speed it up. Let me know.

Pink Door Delight

Today I drove up Willis Creek Road out of a tiny community called Dillard, Oregon. I was looking for an old cemetery I remembered from years ago. I think I got my roads mixed up because I never did find the cemetery but instead found this delightful old building.... WITH A PINK DOOR!

Is this a great old building or what?





It looks like the door was blue at one time.

The Road To Broadbent

I would never have thought I could get so much Blogger mileage from lunch with my sisters in Myrtle Point. This was taken on a road leading from Myrtle Point to the small community of Broadbent.

The old building is covered in wild blackberry vines. Soon all the white flowers will turn into delicious berries.

Valley Clouds

I just like how the clouds are hanging close to the ground on this one. This is near Remote, Oregon.

Out To Pasture

This old truck seems to have outlived its usefulness and, much like an old horse, has been turned out to pasture. Many thanks to the farmer who left this reminder of days gone by. My husband says he thinks its a 40's Ford truck but isn't sure. Anyone know for sure?

This is near the tiny community of Tenmile, Oregon. I've been through this area many times and have never noticed this truck before because it sits at the back of a large pasture. Yesterday I stopped to take some pictures of hay bails across the road and discovered the truck when I started to get back in my car.



This gives an idea of how far back in the pasture it is and why I missed it before.

Winchester Bridge

This old bridge is in Winchester, Oregon. It is so narrow that two trucks can't cross at the same time and it may be closing down. Local businesses are upset because this bridge is an easy link to the freeway.





ODOT is Oregon Department of Transportation.

Old Barn... Old Car .. Old Camper

This barn is near Remote, Oregon. (Yes thats the real name and yes it does describe the community)

Four versions of one scene. I'm not sure which one I like best. At first I thought that old camper ruined the shot and cropped it out but now I'm not sure. It goes with the old car. Which one do you like?

Golden Church

I missed yesterday so I'm doing two posts today.
