On a sunny Saturday in September I hit the Cascade Nursery Trail. More on the nurseries of the trail tomorrow, but today I want to share a couple photos of an unexpected sighting while I was zooming along the roads of rural Oregon. First this craggily tree caught my eye, it's kind of a spooky beauty, right? ![]()
Then I spotted the blue conifer to it's left, and after that, cactus!![]()
Talk about unexpected...![]()
But how fun...![]()
This sighting reminded me of the passages Andrew has been reading out loud, from The Journals of Lewis and Clark. Whenever those boys hit a patch of opuntia—which was surprisingly frequent—he'd share the tale.![]()
I know these aren't native (like the ones Lewis and Clark encountered) but it's still fun to see them growing in a rural setting in Western Oregon...![]()
