Oregon Garden, July 2020
Smack in the middle of the delightful town of Silverton, Oregon, sits the Oregon Garden. It’s about 80 acres of trees and flowers of more varieties than I can count. 2020 is an odd year, with just about everything closed, but the Oregon Garden was open. Everyone there was smart about wearing masks and keeping a good distance from each other, making for an enjoyable visit this July. I took photos with my iPhone and my new used Leica T rangefinder, while Elaine drew and painted in her handmade sketchbook. So many colors, so many sights and smells, so many fun little bees and dragonflies and spiders and even a snake (too fast for a photo).
