Travels

Oregon

In 2003 we took a long trip along the Oregon coast, and stayed in a fishing town with fabulous flower gardens. We couldn’t resist taking pictures of the beautiful flowers while we were enjoying the scenery around us.

The quaint little motel

where we stayed on the

beach had the most

amazing flower bed filled

with roses and dahlias!

Each plant was beautiful on

its own, but all together

they offered a color treat

for the eyes.

These little flowers are called anemones. They come in a variety of bright colors and usually bloom in the spring.
