July 2010 - Oregon Coast

In July, it stopped raining. The highs are still in the 60's with a cool breeze off the icy water.



This is a lovely flower that we have seen blooming all along the coast.





We went to McMinnville to the Evergreen Aviation Museum to see the Spruce Goose. It was pretty neat! Gerald really enjoyed all of the planes and the space museum, too.




This picture was from the upper level. The Spruce Goose is so big, you can't get it in one frame. I waited and waited for this guy to get out of the way, but gave up and took it anyway.



Here's Gerald reading one of the plaques.


He was really impressed with this Blackbird.


I was impressed with this corvette...looked just like the one I used to drive.



.....prior to digital.......




Gerald really enjoyed the museum. I enjoyed the gift shop and got some souvenir ice cream in the cafe.


Some of my cactus have been blooming.


This little guy bloomed in May.....



And has a bunch of buds that will be popping out any day. Pic taken today.



My African Violets.


My Orchids.



I also have live lavender that smells so nice!
