A Summer Drive in Oregon's Countryside

Yesterday's adventures brought us to three different farms...
on one farm these sunny flowers caught my eye--
there's just something about sunflowers at this time of the year! 
Along with sunflowers, squash and huge red begonias
these pastel colored hollyhocks looked amazing under the summer sky:) 
Ah! Pink--glorious, wonderful pink! 
We passed fields of hops (some now harvested),
corn,
cauliflower,
and more.
We passed this beautiful field of black eyed Susans too.
It was a great way to spend an August day!
And, to make things even better, my friend took me for a ride on a little river ferry:)
 Nothing like the view from a ferry's deck on a warm, summer day!
 
Blessings,
Aimee

Loving the hollyhocks. My mom used to grow them. Thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting. The Christian Renewal Center by Silver Falls is still there and I will be going there soon! Have a great day and it's been awhile since I've visited your blog.
