SKYWATCH FRIDAY

Took a train trip to Colorado to visit my grandsons. I must admit that Colorado has the most beautiful skies (I think they might just be better than Oregon), anyway, had a great sky watching time and fun with the little ones. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day. Posted a little late this time, but better late than never!!!!

WATERY WEDNESDAY - RIVER

We took a hike down the Wild and Scenic Rogue River. This is the stretch of river that has no roads to it and rafters start here for about a 3 day float to a town called Agnes (Just a general store). Which is about 20 miles from where the Rogue River goes into the Pacific Ocean at Gold Beach Oregon. There are only trails along each side of the river. We hike about 4 miles. Each rafting group must get a permit as only a certain number of people are allowed to make this trip each year. The trip is about 50 miles by raft with some very nice rapids to go through.

Have a great day and be sure to visit all the wonderful watery wednesday posts.

SKYWATCH FRIDAY - SUNDIAL

This is the Sundial Bridge in Redding, CA.
You cross it to get to a wonderful little park.
It actually keeps time also by its shadow on these large time markers. We were there at a little after twelve.
It is a beautiful bridge!!

Have a wonderful sky watch friday and be sure to visit all the other wonderful skies.
Thanks for visiting!!

MELLOW YELLOW - "GORSE'

The Oregon coast is aglow with bright yellow Gorse.
Gorse was introduced as an ornamental to Oregon when seeds were brought from Ireland, prior to 1894.
It looks very pretty this time of year.
It is very detrimental however. Few invasive exotic species dominate a site like gorse.
Gorse is a fire hazard, it outcompetes native and beneficial plants causing considerable loss of grassland habitat and the seeds are viable for 30 years or more. I call it the Monster bush as it has very large thorns and you can't get rid of it once it takes over.

Happy Mellow Yellow Monday, and be sure to check out all the other yellow stuff.
