by Lane | posted in: Oregon Road Trip 2013 | 0

I’ve been home a few days now, unpacking, organizing photos, resuming my regular life, and thinking about how to sum up the trip. The drive home offered a few nice views.  Rather than drive west to Portland and then up I‑5, … Continued

In and around Bend

Ashland to Bend

by Lane | posted in: Oregon Road Trip 2013 | 0

It was all about the rain yesterday, which made this sign an ironic emblem of the day. I drove through some absolutely beautiful scenery.  Fortunately, I have a good imagination, because that’s the only way I could even remotely know how … Continued

by Lane | posted in: Oregon Road Trip 2013 | 0

My last day in Ashland started with a trip to the laundromat and ended with a final play at OSF. I didn’t take a single photo today. (The one above, of the Elizabethan stage at OSF, I found on the webs.)
