Underneath The Yaquina Bay Bridge

 This capture was made underneath the Yaquina Bay Bridge in Newport on the Central Oregon Coast.  The bridge spans Yaquina Bay. The view is from South Beach looking north.

It was built in 1936 in the art deco style. It is one of the most recognizable bridges on Route 101 and was designed by Conde McCullough.

Before the bridge was built  the only way to get across the bay was by ferry.

Hiding In The Garden Wall Art

This is a colorful and beautiful setting is in Schreiner's Iris Gardens, located in Salem, Oregon. One of the best Iris farms in the country!

You are invited to sit on the green bench and hide among the Irises, a "garden of tranquility". No one is going to know you are there but you!

Close you eyes, stretch your legs out, smell the flowers and, take in what life is all about!

1935 Auburn Speedster 866

Along with the Cord Automobile, in the 1930's was another striking design and that was the Auburn Boattail Speedster 866.  It was powered by a 4.6 liter straight eight that, with a supercharger option could top 100 mph.

Now days that may not be a big hoop-de-do but, in those days it was earth shattering!  This particular Auburn was featured many years ago at a Concours d'Elegance in Oregon.

It was an absolutely gorgeous car. This image has been converted to a digital image!

Shore Acres Xmas Lights

One of a kind Christmas Greeting Cards of Shore Acres Park Lights on the Oregon Coast! (see below)

Shore Acres State Park is a very unusual state park south of Coos Bay on the Oregon Coast. Rather than just picnic benches and horseshoe pits, the Park has evolved into a "garden for all seasons"...a variety of beautiful plants and flowers that bloom according to the season.

And, this in itself is an excellent  reason to visit these gorgeous grounds. However, a fantastic tradition came about in 1987 when the Friends of Shore Acres Park strung a few lights in anticipation of the Christmas Holidays.

In its debut this drew some nine thousand folks to the park. Today, some 325,000 lights adore the landscape and draw some 50,000 visitors to these beautiful gardens during the holidays.

Impatiens

Impatiens are among the most beautiful flowers in the world!  They make for an outstanding border especially for Begonias.

They excel for shade gardens when you want vibrant color all season long. The plants bloom in just about every color. 

You can grow them in containers or, in the ground. If conditions are right you can grow impatiens as an indoor plant.

The image has been converted to a digital painting that I hope you enjoy. It also has an abstract feel. If you would like to explore this image, or others, please see links below!

Florence Floral

More beautiful flowers than you can shake a stem at...floral on the banks of the Siuslaw River in Florence on the Oregon Coast!

This setting is next to a coffee shop in Old Town Florence. Unfortunately, the floral only lasts so long and I was able to capture it with a camera and preserve it for a while.

It's a fantastic view! Relax and let yourself go among the flowers and the river. If you would like to explore this image, or others, please see links below!

Bicycle Garden Art

This "Bicycle" sits in a garden setting in Cottage Grove, Oregon in the Pacific Northwest and just sitting there in a garden has turned this bike, complete with basket, into a work of art.

For me, it is a revisited setting. The bike was enshrined there some three years ago when I was in Cottage Grove. No new moss was noticed however, the green vegetation is starting to become more entwined with the bicycle.

It is early in the morning and the sun is starting to shine through. It was the start of a beautiful day!

Beach Treasures

The beaches on the Oregon Coast hold many treasures! The image below is not a sea shell or, an agate or, Japanese Float.

It is an art piece someone made out of various pieces of glass and planted on the beach in Yachats, Oregon. It is situated on the 804 Trail (part of the Oregon Coast Trail) that parallels the Pacific Ocean. A cool trail that is a beautiful two and a half mile round trip with rocky outcropping and waves that shoot fifty feet into the air when they hit the rocks.

Check out the swimming dolphin, in what looks to be an old fashioned candy jar and, the two wrist bands at the top. One with "Faith" written on it.

Evolution

Yaquina Bay in Newport, Oregon is home to Oregon's largest fishing fleet. It is also home to some cool looking fishing vessels.

And, most commercial fisherman take very good care of their boats. They have too to survive out at sea.

The scene is a drizzly, foggy morning at Dock 5 on the Historic Bayfront. Most boats are in, conditions at sea aren't real great and it is probably to dangerous to go out and fish due to sea conditions.

Field Of Tulips

One of the best tulip farms is in Woodburn, Oregon. It is the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm and encompasses some forty acres of stunning and beautiful tulips.

They feature some 117 varieties of tulips. And, it seems that each tulip is a different color. Of course, that is an illusion.

What is not an illusion is this capture. It was made fairly close to the ground and it seems like there are tulips as far as the eye can see.

All Aboard The Old Excursion Railroad Car!

Get ready to board this open sided excursion railroad car! Probably a rail car that goes back many decades and, that has boarded thousands and thousands on scenic trips.

This particular car was found on the Oregon Coast in Tillamook. Yes, the place where they make cheese and, all the cows are happy cows!

Since the excursion car was found on the coast, tells me, since it is close, that it was once in use in Garibaldi, Oregon on scenic railroad tours along Tillamook Bay and also into the Nehalem Valley.

So, grab a picnic lunch and amble down the tracks as the locomotive winds along Tillamook Bay, or into Nehalem Valley while you take in all the beautiful scenery!

Although, you might have to use your imagination a bit here with this old excursion car.

The Flowers Along The Fence

Beautiful flowers and artichokes are placed playfully up against a rustic fence. Pick the artichokes and make a dip. Gather the flowers and make a bouquet!

The setting is on the Central Oregon Coast. Each year a flower and garden show is featured in different locations up and down the coast.

This particular show, where the below image was captured is just north of Waldport. It is called the Secret Garden Tour.

The event is a fundraiser for Samaritan House Homeless Family Shelter...the only homeless family shelter on the Central Oregon coast between Tillamook and Coos Bay. Their mission is an excellent one: to shelter, educate and guide homeless families with children toward independent living!

Tides Out!

This is the boardwalk and the Coquille River at low tide in Bandon on the Oregon Coast.  On the boardwalk is an outdoor art gallery that has a beautiful collection of marine life wooden sculptures and, cool artisan benches along the way.

Also, on the boardwalk is a mosaic outdoor amphitheater.  Not to forget, a glass-sided picnic shelter allowing picnicking and river viewing during downpours.

Also, on the boardwalk, is Tony's Crab Shack. It is the blue and reddish colored building with some of the best seafood on the Oregon Coast...think Dungeness Crab! Beyond is the Pacific Ocean. It's not too far away!

Three Bells In The Garden

The "Three Bells In The Garden" setting is in Schreiner's Iris Gardens in Salem, Oregon. They are home to some of the beautiful Iris gardens in the world.

The trellis is an Oriental design. The three bells chime with the wind and gently sound solitude and peace. It won't be too long before clematis and/or beautiful climbing floral inhibit the trellis.

The very nature of this whole garden scene leaves a lot of room for meditative thought. The beautiful Irises, other flowers and plants embellish the scene.

Field of Flowers

Field of Flowers was taken at Schreiner's Iris Gardens in Salem, Oregon. Of course, they have acres and acres of Irises however, they co-mingle many different species of flowers with them.

Mind you, Irises don't bloom forever no matter how much love you give them. And, off season folks still visit their beautiful gardens and, can still take nature in at its best!

I converted the image into a digital painting to give it a different perspective.
