I want to show you a few sights around my home area.

The Wheatland Ferry runs on electricity and holds up to nine cars per trip across the Willamette River.

 Platforms for Osprey nests have been built at the top of large poles on farms and telephone poles around the area.

A Field of Berries in the fall.

Oregon State Parks

This is not snow. This is a filbert orchard that has just been dusted with the mineral lime to neutralize the acid in the soil.

It’s duck and geese hunting season. The Goose Check spot identifies the particular species of bird has been killed. I found this sign to be unique to our area.

I like that Oregon Agriculture identifies what is growing in the field behind it. Many crops thrive in the Willamette Valley from nursery plants, various fruits and berries, vegetables, hay, hops, grass seed, peonies, tulips, iris flowers, and many more crops! There are also several wineries that grow several varieties of grapes and have produced award winning wines!

Hope your Thanksgiving week is going well!

Wishing you the very best!
