Running the Oregon Dunes

In all kinds of weather,  the 40 miles of sand dunes along the coast of Oregon between Coos Bay and Florence beckon to all ages,  climb, run, jump, roll and walk!  Jana, Payton, Brady and Derrick with dog in hand, cavorted over the dunes on Spring Break!  They even had time for crabbing!  And there is always some wind for kites between the rain and sunshine.  You might even decide to get wet in the lake or ocean!  Natural beauty surrounds us!  Just look and enjoy!  (click on photos to enlarge)

Spring in Ashland

Everywhere you look trees are smiling at you!  Red Bud, Flowering Crab, flowering bushes, bright yellow forsythia,  all saying yes from the Creator to all of us!  Every Spring it's always new again and remarkable to realize the hundreds of beautiful blooms have all be planted by us humans!  And in most cases,  cared for by all of us!  It's always a reminder that beauty thrives when cared for  and as we grow in magnitude so does our influence and legacy.  Take great care of your plantings. . .their offspring will grow beyond your imagination!  Blessings to you all from Ashland in Spring!
