Ducks and Geese at Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden

Codi and I recently visited the Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden in SE Portland. It’s 9 acres of rhododendrons and other flowers, but the most obvious attraction is the small lake and the hundreds of ducks and geese.

Betwen the two of us, we took about 300 photos. Here are a few samples – flowers to come soon.

Christmas Tree Time at Sleighbells

Codi and I went to Sleighbells of Sherwood again to get our Christmas tree. This year, however, we got two trees – one for inside our house and a little one for the front porch. The tree on the porch is pretty cute.

Here are some photos that Codi took while we were at Sleighbells.

Mt. Hood from Sherwood

Nice angle on a pine tree.

Santa, of course!

Pine cones are everywhere.

Lavender Fields in Oregon

Codi and I went to the lavender fields today with the GvL family. We picked an entire basket full of various types of fresh lavender, dodging hundreds of bees who were equally interested in the flowers. We’ll dry the lavender and hang it around the house.




Portland Rose Gardens

Codi and I went to the Portland Rose Gardens to take some pictures. It’s one of our favorite spots for photos, so we look forward to it all winter and spring. Of course, when we got there, I snapped my first shot and realized I’d left my memory card at home.   #$%^&*!   So all these photos are courtesy of my very cute wife, Codi.








I took this one. =)
