Today's harvest!

These were planted November 1st 2007 and overwintered until today.

Friends at Govinda's

Meet the coolest bunch of folks! These are some of the friends we have gathered here in Eugene and we are so happy that they are part of our lives.

Brett and Kris (3rd and 4th from the left) were leaving the next day on their way to their new home in NC.

We'll miss them.

Live by the horns!

Echinacea exhibiting the phi ratio...among other things!

Humming bird resting on bamboo.


This shot is about fifteen feet in the air. The humming bird loves our butterfly bush, but apparently likes to take a break from time to time. The bamboo shoot is just starting to open.

Mmmm Beans!


Black Coho (Bush) in the front, Cherokee Purple (runner) in the back.

The Cherokee beans were brought on the trail of tears. This variety is drought hardy, as it has been grown in Okie country (the western band's reservation) for some time now.

You can see a sunbow at the bottom of the picture. This location is famous for them.

Mt. Shasta Under Blue Skies

About 1 week earlier.

That's snow you see there...

This is taken on June 8, 2008 just upstream from Sahallie Falls. Imagine what it looks like in the middle of winter.

Sahalie Falls From the North


This is also June 8, 2008. The falls are near the headwaters of the McKenzie River, 70 miles East of Eugene, Oregon. The snow pack was heavy this year, but the melt has been really fast, so the river had a lot of power.

Sahallie in local First Nations' trading language meant 'sky' or 'heaven.'
