my thoughts on blogging

So i feel almost like this is a wast of e-space for me to write this short little blog but i felt the desire to post my opinion on my blogger experiance thus far. I used to blog to get my emotions out...although poetic eventually got me in a little trouble with my husband. I came across Casey's Elegent Musings in July and that opened my eyes to the world of wonderful ladies who are brave enough to live life vintage and blog about it and have these wonderful etsy shops and I just got so excited i follow Strawberry Koi vintage and Vixen Vintage and Oh kirby...all are wonderfully gorgeous and write such interesting articles . So i was inspried to write my own, I enjoy photography and photo editing but am not vintage lol at least not outwordly. So I have to admit I have been getting a little upset everytime I check my blog to see I have no followers and as far as i can tell a couple people have looked at my blog.

I know blogging is not a popularity contest but please if you are looking at this blog, even just passing by, leave a little comment. I like sharing my photos and memories but if no one is enjoying it with me then well, its a little sad. Thanks

one last summer memory

Since I had to wait until i had money to develop the disposable cameras i used at the Portland Zoo I didn't have these pictures in the goodbye summer blog. yes i spelled disposable wrong on the picture because I hate point and clicks, how are you supposed to get a decent picture with these ancient things lol. I used to think i was good at taking pictures hmmm...can't wait til I get a camera!

goodbye summer

I had a fun summer and so did the kids... too bad my camera had to suffer for it. Oh well I will have a new camera soon ..... hopefully!

A few miles away (Sahalie Falls)

I was inspired by one of the blogs I subscribe to. I didn't ask her permission to say who it was so I will leave that out for right now...not too many people read my blog right now anyway. Getting off track!

Anyway, the whole idea is that just driving a little ways here in my home state of Oregon you can see such amazing sights. This particular water fall is one of at least 15 I know of and have visited in the last 6 years. I used to call it waterfall hunting it was so fun to pack my daughter in the car and go looking for waterfalls. Wether we found them just by drving down a major freeway or going down a service road. They never disapoint.

I think I will highlight Sahalie falls in this entry. Mainly because of my computer crash in dec 07 I lost almost all the other pictures i had of waterfalls in and around Lane County.Here is a geneal information link about the falls. http://www.fs.fed.us/r6/willamette/recreation/tripplanning/pointsofinterest/sahalie_koosah.html

My memories of the falls started when I was really young, maybe 5 or 6 years old as a pit stop on our way out to sisters to see a rock garden. (exciting huh). I had been there several times since. Once when it was completely surrounded by snow which is pretty much 60% of the year since it is up in The Cascades. This is one of the most photographed waterfalls in Oregon and if you have ever watched the movie Homeward bound, the cat~ Sassy goes supposibly goes over this same waterfall.

I took this photo of Sahalie the last time we visited which was actually last summer , some great memories.
