People are dopey. Getting in their cages and into a traffic jam to enjoy a holiday. Especially after sitting in traffic all week going to and from work.
5 years agoI've ridden by that guy before!
5 years agoI like your new project, Scott. But I'm very much a tree person too. I figure I've planted well over 100 trees in the various yards where I've lived and some on city land in the middle of the night.
5 years agoI grew up on a beautiful piece of land in Minnesota called Butternut Ridge. I collected the nuts and cracked them for my mother to put in cookies. But none of our trees were this large. Back there they would get a fungus that would eventually kill them before they got huge like this one.
5 years agoThat's right, "capture" is the right thing to do with them.
5 years agoI had a plastic gun when I was a kid that shot dried peas a few feet. My mother would get mad at me for using her peas but there were a few basswood trees on our property and I used these seeds in my gun. They weren't quite the right size but I'd use anything to fend off my brother.
5 years agoGorgeous shot. I'm a big fan of leaves of all sorts.
5 years agoI know. It makes you want to lean over and rub noses.
5 years agoI recommend using this station to compose your 'Brassica Fields Forever' song.
Sounds like it could be a hit!
People will wonder why they ever thought that John Lennon guy was so cool.
What a face!
5 years agoOh, right. Of course.
5 years agoThis looks more like a tropical place than Oregon is. Unchecked, this ivy will go crazy strangling the life out of trees. It's non-native and invasive but pretty cool looking in your photo.
5 years agoAcross the river rises Beacon Rock, I know you mean. Rooster Rock is on the Oregon side and is just that, a steep rising rock. Beacon Rock provides a great little (steep) hike up switchback stairs and little bridges over switchback stairs. It's a wonder the trail was ever built and I imagine it took many years to complete. Beacon Rock is a great landmark as is Vista House.
5 years agoOoh. A good take on it.

This is a great quest. Very enjoyable to read while sitting here in our mall home in the sweltering suburbs of tree-challenged Denver.
