The Walk Begins
We decided to go a different direction today on our walk near the airport. We park the car I grab my camera and we head east to see the new sights in an area we have not explored yet. 👉
Our first view upon crossing the main road is a helicopter landing. There is wildfire burning about 10 miles away so there has been a lot of refueling stops at the aerport.
As we approach the community garden I capture a couple of the variety of sunflowers.
There is also an array of ornamental flowers to be seen.
A plane leaving the airport. You can also get a feel for some of the wildfire smoke hanging in the air.
Not the clearest shot but I put a lot of effort into getting this. I got down on the ground and contorted my body to try and get the perfect shot. Instead of perfect I got this. 😂 I do like the white pollen clinging to him though. 😁
Tow large tomatoes... one about ready to eat and one for later in the month.
A panorama of a portion of the garden with The Three Sisters in the background.
Some of the old west imagery inside the garden.

And a last shot on the walk back to the car of the natural environment of the Central Oregon high desert.

Congratulations, your post has been added to Pinmapple! 🎉🥳🍍
Did you know every user has their own profile map?
And so does every post as well!
Want to have your post on the map too?
Thank you!
WOW, you took some fantastic photos there and I do love the old wagon and oh wow, the sunflowers- all of the flowers but my favourite is your 'failure'- your imperfect shot is the best I think because not only have you managed to capture such clarity and detail, but with the depth of field that you used- accidental or not, has given it a dreamy look and I love it.
Thanks you for sharing such a wonderful walk. 😊
Thank you very much! There are quite a few old wagons around my town. I'm not sure how old they might be but we are located on the Santiam wagon road, a route through the Cascade Mountain Range in Central Oregon, so they could have some age. Link to more info.
Sunflowers seemed to be the main attraction. 😃
The bee shot was in the shade compared to all the other bright sun shots. I was in an uncomfortable position, adjusting camera settings, trying to get something that looked good to my old eyes on the tiny camera screen. 😀 I'm glad you liked it. 👍
Thank you for stopping by!
Liked it? I LOVED it! And I can't wait to take more Wednesday walks with you too! 😀
