Oregon Lavender Farm and Eagle Creek Lavender Farm

On one fine, sunny day at the end of June 2018, I visited two lavender farms in Clackamas County, Oregon: the Oregon Lavender Farm on the eastern edge of Oregon City; and a little more to the east, the Eagle Creek Lavender Farm in Eagle Creek.

Opal Creek and Jawbone Flats, Oregon

In January 2015 I explored Opal Creek and the quasi-ghost town of Jawbone Flats (population 5) in the central Cascade Mountains in Oregon. The area is thick with gorgeous fir trees, and the water in the creeks and rivers is crystal clear.  It's so clear in fact that when it pools, it looks insanely, surreally blue...
