Here is one more picture of Crater Lake with Wizard Island in the middle...even with all of the people coming and going there it is a very peaceful place for sure!

This is a nice picture of a Clarks Nutcracker (bird) on an old dead snag at the edge of the crater rim at Crater Lake. These birds are plentiful and are beautiful to see in flight! 

Here is another picture of Crater Lake with Wizard Island. See the Hemlock Trees in the foreground. There are lots of Hemlocks up there. Hemlock trees have small needles and the very top of the tree falls over very graceful like...They have tiny little pinecones. 

Here is a picture of Crater Lake I took this weekend. It was a really clear day up there. People of many nationalities were visiting. They were all in awe! It really is a beautiful National Park that is here in Southern Oregon! 

Here is the knit hat I made to go with the felted purse for my sisters grand daughter...cute cute cute...I love these bright colors!  

Here are a few loaves of freshly baked organic brown bread...doesn't it look yummy...need to get out some organic butter and slice me a bit of that...maybe with some jam??? and a big glass of orange juice... :-) 

and here...is a little knit/felted purse I made for my sister's grand-daughter...isn't it darling...the red button has a little girl stick figure on it...I think she will love this for Christmas...!!! 

Here is a purse that I knit and felted with my handspun. the picture doesn't really show the colors quite right...it's more subdued than this.

Here is the Metolius River. Most of this river is a fly fishing only river. It is catch and release with a barbless hook...I did not try my hand at it this time, but would love to go back and see if I can still flyfish...It's a really beautiful area! 

Here is a side shot of the cabin that we stayed in. It was very beautiful inside and out, and in a really peaceful setting. I got lots of knitting done on that front porch! 

Here are two of the Three Sisters mountain range. This photo was taken from Dee Wright Observatory on the McKenzie Pass. 

This is Lower Proxy Falls. We hiked in to lower and upper Proxy falls on our central oregon vacation. It was so beautiful there and a great way to beat the heat!
