 This is a picture of my grandma's Christmas Catus.  It is so pretty and the blooms are goregous.  I think this plant should be called a "Holiday Catus."

 Scott and I are getting ready to start planting our cold weather crops.  I am so excited for fresh veggies.  We don't have the large amount of space that we have had before, but we still have a good plan so we can start planting.  YUMMY!!!!!

 These two pictures where taken on my way to work.  I loved the way the sky and clouds looked.  My camera doesn't show the beautiful contrast of colors very well.   I am super excited to get a new camera, some day.  :-)

February 8

These pictures were taken on my home from work.  I love this old building.  There is such uniqueness in the lines and texture of this old barn.  I can just imagine who has walked into this barn years ago.

 I love the way this picture turned out.  I was trying to capture the light, clouds, and the Columbia Gorge River all connected as one, and seperate at the same time.  I liked using the tree as a focal point.  It took me a little while to find the perfect spot to take this picture.  I am glad I didn't loose the beautiful light sharing space with the clouds. 

February 10

Two wonderful pictures of Mt. Adams.  It was such a sunny and bright morning. 

This picture was taken on the way home.  I wanted to catch the light reflecting on Mt. Hood.  I like this picture, but I think my photos will be better when I get a higher quality camera.

I got these flowers for my grandma.  We both love flowers and we both love pink, so fitting.  Grandma loved the bouquet and they are still blooming and looking wonderful.

 A beautiful sunrise taken on the way to work.  I love all the colors.  So lovely. 

This picture is taken at Brownsville, Oregon outside of our house on Washburn Street.  This is a walnut tree and I absolutely love this old tree.  About 3-4 years ago, maybe longer, the city wanted to take this tree out because they were putting in a new sewer system and the pipes went right along the base of the tree.  Scott told them that we wanted to keep the tree and I am so glad he did.  This tree is over 100 years old and is one of the first trees planted in Brownsville.  It is an awesome looking tree.
