French Prairie Gardens

Out in the country, away from all the hustle and bustle is French Prairie Gardens. It is just one nice place, located in St.Paul, Oregon...about 45 minutes south of Portland.

Basically, it's a nursery, farm and store that features fresh produce. They have all kinds of activities for the family year around. A must place to visit if you live in the area.

However, at this time of the year, summer, one can't help but notice all the beautiful hanging baskets and flower gardens that are displayed.

They have the biggest hanging baskets I have ever seen and they are reasonably priced. Did I say the ice cream they feature is good? Enjoy the photos!

Summer Flowers In Oregon City

As mentioned in previous posts, my wife and I have an enormous yard, located in Oregon City, Oregon. There are several things you can do with a large yard in the summer...you can ignore it, or plant it with interesting plants and flowers. We like the later idea.

One of the most intriguing flowers we have planted this year has been over a half dozen Green Gladiolus, which is in the first photo here. No adjustments have been made to this photo...it's the real color.

Best Oregon Beach Towns

If I had to pick the best beach town in Oregon, I would go with Bandon. Why?

If you decide to take a stroll on the beach, you're lucky to see one other person. The town has no ferris wheels, bumper cars or noisy arcades. No large shopping malls. The place is quiet!

Some of the best fishing and crabbing on the Coast. Really cool gift shops, and did I mention Cranberry candy? One of the best boardwalks seen anywhere.

World-class golf courses! Some of the best seafood on the Coast...you're looking at one of the best places (Tony's Crabshack) to go in the first photo here.

All the photos here were taken very early in the morning...it was dark out!
