1st set of pics from last weeks trip 7-5

This first picture is of the green northern Nevada desert.

The second is of north eastern Oregon.


The third picture is of southern Washington south of Yakima...all the hills were very brown and dry, but the orchards and farm land kept it from being dry looking.










These white flowering shrubs were along all the highways we traveled in Oregon near rivers and in the mountains....they smell so very exotic, like plumeria...they are Mock Orange and are supposed to smell of orange blossoms and jasmine...I wish there was a way for you to smell these...they were scrumptious!






This next picture is of the Bullfrogs at Clyde Holliday State Park, you can see one head on the left but if you click on the picture you might be able to see the rest of the heads poking up out of the water. I had focused in on one charmer and he croaked just as I took his picture so his shiny yellow throat was expanded.
