Photos of the Week – July 12

More journeys should have no purpose other than to discover more and more beautiful things.” – unknown

We have been traveling this week. We’ve seen so many beautiful and amazing things and had a fantastic time with dear friends. Here are our photos – a few in Washington and most from Oregon.

Beachcombing and balancing in the tidal flats off Jetty Island in Possession Sound (Washington).

Ski lifts and smiles on Mt. Hood (Oregon)

We loved staying at the historic Timberline lodge on Mt. Hood. One of the things I was amazed at was the repeated use of this squared off arch shape from everything from the furniture (left is a dining room chair) to the wooden doors and stone archways (not pictured). Timberline is famous for being where they filmed The Shining but there were stills of other movies filmed there too – like a Lassie film.

Biking and bucks in Bend, Oregon. Notice the osprey in its nest in the upper right of the biking photo.

Heart rock from 7,000 feet on Mt Hood, gap-toothed grins (Mr D lost a tooth on this trip), and the sign of the week.
