Part Two of our adventure.
Mt Hood
Balsamroot
Parsley
And a new-to-me bird!
A Western King Bird!
Monkeyflower
The Gorge and Columbia River
Serviceberry
Larkspur
Mt Hood
Serviceberry
And look closely!
Can you see the Western Meadowlark?
The Meadowlark is Oregon's state bird and they were singing and singing and singing.
And I have to end with yet more Balsamroot.
Our day's adventure was a perfect western daytrip / Waning family wandering.
450 miles total, eight counties, and 13 hours!
We also drove past the R2 Ranch in Wasco and Jefferson Counties. It is 47 miles long and up to 22 miles wide in places. Amazing!
Beautiful pictures from your adventure, Beth! Glad you were able to see a new to you bird!
