My Fortress

rugged hill with layers of volcanic rock formations

This is one of my favorite Central Oregon sights. It is a hill near the city of Warm Springs in the Warm Springs Indian Reservation. I never cease to be amazed by the multiple layers of volcanic rock. Central Oregon used to be the hot and happenin’ place. This bluff is where I would build my castle if I wanted it to be defensible. Only an army of crazy people would try to attack from this side. Almost as good as a mote full of alligators.

juniper trees and plateau hills

Maybe it’s all those cowboy movies I watched as a kid, but I love this terrain. It has it’s own beauty. It may be hot and mostly brown, but I find it just as pleasing as a cool, green forrest.

My sister’s green thumb is not limited to pretty flowers. Here are some edibles.

zucchini squash plant with large yellow bloom

Zucchini squash

apples in the tree

Green apples in the tree, which is heavily loaded this year. Plenty to eat and give away.

raspberries on the bush

Raspberries just beginning to ripen. Yummy! These are my favorite kind berries. Food of the gods!
