oregon : roses in bloom

You know I love my roses. My surprise trip to Oregon* a couple of weeks ago had me all over the state: Portland (home town), Eugene (college town), and Gearheart (town on the coast). No matter where we went, we packed our roses - picked from the garden in Portland. Here the roses are in Gearheart, getting fresh Pacific Ocean air.

*My little sister graduated from college so I surprised her and flew home for her ceremony. Wow, she's amazing! More pictures to follow...
