Mount Angel Abbey

 

Instead of going to Oregon Garden we decided to visit the Mount Angel Abbey as part of our Monday outing. Thanks to Mary (Monday volunteer), she gave us a private tour of the abbey and telling us about the noon prayers by the monk.

Check in is at 4:00 PM, so we took our time from home to this spot. Morning walk is fun and we explore Newport Bay front, lunch as Clearwater - yummy

Yaquina Head Lighthouse

 

We try to escape the heat by staying at the coast, this is the second time we visited Yaquina Head lighthouse. The grounds are improved with nice pavement.

Beaverton Farmers Market

 

When Pokie said, "Let's go to Beaverton Farmers Market" I do not hesitate a bit, it means another subjects to photograph. I am lucky the sky is kind or overcast, my favorite.

In search of prefect peaches

 

Gunkel Orchards, Goldendale, Wa

Let's go picnic, Jerry, Hui, Yulie and us meet at the Walmart and we go with just one car, it was a fun trip filled with laughter. We look for sweet and juicy peaches. Finally after driving close to three hours, we ended up at Gunkel Orchards in Goldendale, WA

Oxbow Regional Park - Gresham

 

We always go to the park on Mondays, we get the park to ourselves usually. I have heard this park many times in the past year, but only this time I made an effort to see it, sometimes you forget the nearby places.

Blueberry Picking

 

We are always looking forward for the first opening day for the blueberry picking at Roshak Shak, this year falls on July 2nd, 2021. As always we wake up at 05:00 and forty minutes later we are at the parking lot. This year we only picked 23 pounds.
