Road Trip Goodness!

We had a wonderful sun filled weekend. Road trip was awesome! The wedding was perfect. I mean--bride book perfect! The bride and groom radiated happiness.

Most of the pictures I took were on the road home. I snapped a gazillion of them as I wasn't sure if any would turn out. Hard to focus zooming along in a convertible with the wind whipping by!

Here are some images of the fantastic scenery I got to see in Eastern Oregon:

SunRiver Canoes


SunRiver/Deschutes









Doesn't this look like a painting?





Warm Springs Indian Reservation


I tried to capture Mt Hood but she was being elusive

DragonladyBeth: You know, when I am settled again and can offer a spot in my (new) home, you should come out and visit! I'd drag you around :D We'd have a grand time!
*scritch scritch*

Slick: LOL! I'm (back) living in civilization. I have to admit, I love visiting the vast country but I wouldn't wanna live there. I felt shivers of happiness everytime we drove through a town that had SHOPS!

Cindy: Good to hear you're healing!! Grand news, indeed! Road trips are fun. Where would you go if you could go on one? I'm curious!!

LaChanson: Yeah--Oregon/Washington is beautiful. I sometimes am overwhelmed by the rain--but the green is worth it! I need the green! Eastern Oregon (my pics) is very Desert and dry. Hence the shrub/mesa shots! I couldn't live in all that brownness.

Laoch: Thank you :) I'm glad you enjoyed them.

Well Kat my perfect road trip would be one where I was with a good friend or two, and we put a map of Canada and the US on the walland threw darts at it and where the darts landed that's where we'd go, no set rout or time limit. And we'd only stay in B&B's along the way.
Have a Great week!

Bob-a-roo: I had to scritch my head and think for a second what you meant by PCH--then I remembered watching The Closer last night on TV. Pacific Coast Hiway! EEEK! The Closer was about the PCH serial killer! ACK! lol
I bet the pics you would get would be AWESOME!! (barring any serial killer run-ins...)
After reading your Ms Serious post on her traumatic Tweezers moment, I think she needs a road trip!! Make it an Oregon one!! :D *hugsss*

Haphazardkat said...

Cindy: that sounds wwwwwwonderful! and the B&B idea---purrrr purrrr. I must steal your idea!! *hugss*

Haphazardkat said...

Wingied One: I'm always careful around dragons :D I keep special dragon snacks incase one should swoop down and visit! *purrrsss and head butts a Dragon scale*

Damn, you're making me want to hit the road now.

Loofa: The open road is seductive!

Hi Kat,
I really would LOVE to be able to do a "Visit Blog Buddies road trip", that would be SOOO much fun!
I've had the Driver/Bodygaurd idea for sometime now....
Honestly when I came up with it I had a certain person in mind, but if I had ANYTHING to do with him now, a few of my friends would never speak to me again, (after they took turns kicking my butt that is.) Yes, he was/is a very BAD boy!
I hope you are having a great evening!
(((Hugs)))
