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.

SKYWATCH FRIDAY - Wicked Witch of the North

I was enjoying a beautiful sunset at Bandon, Oregon with my slimey friend..........

Besure to visit all the wonderful skies at Skywatch Friday!

WATERY WEDNESDAY - Day at the Beach

Went to Bandon by the Sea for a couple of days. My favorite beachcombing place. The lighthouse is the Coquille River Lighthouse in Bandon Oregon. I should know the names of the birds on the beach, but I don't because they are birds you don't see all that often. It was a great day on the beach! Glad it is so close to Ashland that you can make a day trip out of it!!

Be sure to visit all the wonderful watery photos at Watery Wednesday!!!

Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by.

SKYWATCH FRIDAY - Sunrise, Sunset

We had rain all day on Tuesday which is unusual for around here. It usually is just a passing shower or two. It was really nice for a change and I actually captured a couple of fairly interesting skies which are also unusual for around here. The first is sunrise and the second is sunset, both on the same day!!!

Be sure to visit all the other great skies at Skywatch Friday and thanks for visiting!!

SEPIA SCENES - A LITTLE HISTORY

The first photo is of a painting on the side of Omars, which is a resturant that has been in Ashland since 1946. This is the same camel painting that is on a pack of Camel Cigs. The second photo is a page out of a 1937 Country Home magazine that stresses the fact that cigarettes are good for your digestion. I thought it was kind of funny the way the cigarette industry tried to get you to smoke!!! Anyway the last picture is of the actual resturant which is entirely smoke free, even the bar!! This is a resturant famous for their steaks. Just a little something for Sepia Scenes!!!

WATERY WEDNESDAY-RATTLESNAKE HIKE!!!

Tuesday I went on a hike up a creek (first photo). I had gone to take some wildflower photos but low and behold I had a surprise. I went up the hill and almost stepped on a rattlesnake. I only was able to recover enough to remember to take a picture but by that time he was more afraid of me and I only was able to get a picture of his tail and rattles. What a surprise!!! I did continue on my wildflower search and got quite a few photos. I have included one. Very interesting hike!!!

Be sure to click on snake and flowers to get the full effect!!!!!

Have a wonderful Watery Wednesday and be sure to check out all the other Watery photos!

MELLOW YELLOW MONDAY #17

Welcome to my Mellow Yellow Monday!! The first photo is of Lower Table Rock. I was out wandering around and just happened to see the bright yellow bridge railing. Table Rock has a great hiking trail to the top and from there you can see the whole valley. It's a great hike and this time of year the top is covered with wild flowers. The second photo is of a tree just beginning to leaf out. I have no idea what it is (not pussy willow) but thought it was very lovely.

Be sure to visit everyone at Mellow Yellow Monday for some wonderful photos and great adventures!!!! I really enjoy it!!

SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY

These shadows were taken when our ship came along side of a freighter in the Panama Canal locks. The goofy shadow waving is my husband. I thought they were kind of cute when I took them so I guess I will share them with everyone for Shadow Sunday. Have a great day!
