Snapshots of Summer

THE CANBY FAIR:

What would the fair be without good ol' corn-on-the-cob?!?

Typical fair weather...hot, dry, and dusty...

This mommy/baby pair were so cute...especially when baby began kicking up her little heels and bucking!!!

A woman spinning in the old frontier village.



A WEEKEND IN LEAVENWORTH:

Jo-bug, cooling her little tootsies in the river...
...and just generally enjoying the water and the sunshine...



Just the three of us...missing the two of you!!!




THE PORTLAND ROSE GARDEN:

The colors in this rose were stunning!!!

Shabby chic, anyone?!?

This one reminds me of Narnia (minus the snow and plus the roses).

Sunshine on a stem.

Delicate and old-fashioned...

Smiles among the roses!!!

Dad, being very patient with the photographers...

More shabby chic...

The shades of pink and peach are amazing!!!

..."mighty like a rose..."

This plaque is at the bottom of the stairs as you leave the garden, and when you're among those lovely roses, it feels so true!!!




WATERFRONT CLASSICS:
 
You know that summer is almost over when the Oregon Symphony does its concert in Tom McCall Park!!!

We had a picnic (including sandwiches from Great Harvest) as we listened...

Three couples did ballet during part of the music.

Oh, to be so graceful!!!

As usual, the night ended with Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture, accompanied by fireworks.  Fantastic!!!

  1. What a fun collage of summer! I especially love the "Narnia" picture! And the concert in the park sounds like so much fun. I must try to go next year! :)
