After getting rained out of our trip to the Historic Deepwood Estate in Salem, our little band of photographers decided to head north and check out the Willamette Mission State Park (
http://www.oregonstateparks.org/index.cfm?do=parkPage.dsp_parkPage&parkId=99). On the way the skies cleared off mostly and we enjoyed a beautiful afternoon stroll around a portion of the park. There is definitely enough there to spend a full day exploring. So, this is another location added to the "Must Return To" list. In fact, we'll be returning for an historic Civil War demonstration over the Fourth of July holiday.
In the meantime, here are some images I was able to make during our brief visit. I hope you enjoy them!
Just after the pay kiosk we were greeted to the park by these happy daisies!
I have no idea what kind of flower this is, but there were nice, big patches of them in the open areas of the park. Was fun to get low and make some images.
Me photographing Lisa, photographing Julie, photographing the flower patches.
Of course, it wouldn't be Oregon without the requisite dandelion puffball!
Not sure of the flower, but I thought it looked nice in the shade of the trees with it's very own splash of sunlight.
Just a small look at the park as we saw it. Looking forward to returning and making more images of such a wonderful park right here in the Willamette Valley of Oregon. I hope you enjoyed them!
