Oregon in the Summer

A rose by any other name is still a rose.


For our family this past month, all of Oregon bloomed like a rose. For ten wonderful days we reveled in the beauty and peace of this special place. Cathy's sister Nancy lives in Portland with her two teenage sons, one of whom graduated from high school which was the occassion for our trip. But our travels took us, in addition to Portland, to Sisters, Bend, and SunRiver in the central part of the state.

These pictures were taken at Portland's well known Rose Garden Park. In the coming days I hope to add other highlights of our trip. But since this is one of the first places we visited after arriving in Oregon, I thought it nice place to begin.
