Panorama photos

I am just learning how to "stitch" panorama
photos and post to my blog!


The first image here is the
John Day Fairgrounds
where some folks camped last weekend
when we were there for the BMW rally.










This photo is of the Painted Hills outside of Mitchell Oregon.

Sonshine B and B in John Day Oregon

After a gorgeous scenic drive up the Columbia River Gorge and over to John Day via Biggs junction that takes you through Wasco via Hwy 206, and onto Hwy 19 through Condon, Mayville, Fossil, Service Creek (where you can have tasty hamburgers), Spray, Kimberly,past Sheep Rock and onto highway 26 past Dayville and Mt Vernon ...finally arriving 5 hours later in John Day. I love the drive. Hardly any traffic and far preferable to Hwy 26 over Mt Hood where one has to endure RV's slowly inching up the road!



Pausing on a bridge under construction.


Finally arriving at our
preferred destination in John Day!

Finally finished Mary and Jarrod's baby quilt...

the year of the rat.... and my Mothers birthday!

for our free copies of Three Cups of Tea.
A wonderfully written book about how one person
made huge changes for children in Pakistan and Afganistan.
Besides picking up our books we could munch on tasty bites
and listen to the music of Pakistan and Afganistan.
I love our library!
This past week Russell finished this years painting for the
John Day BMRO Rally t-shirt.
Later on he will finish off the painting for me-yippee.

Yesterday we met friends for Spanish Coffee's at Hubers
and dinner at Al Amir- the best downtown restaurant for
Lebanese food. Yum!
That's it for now............
