On Sabbath afternoon a group of us took advantage of the lovely weather and a free day-use day to visit
Champoeg State Park. This special park was the "birthplace" of our state, and we all enjoyed the history lessons, a long walk, and the many wildflowers in bloom. So – you know – I had to share our enjoyment with you!

This black cottonwood was a silent witness to the signing
of Oregon's first provisional government in 1843 |

| Fun photog friends who forgot their "real" cameras |

| Friendly California ground squirrel begging for goodies (we had none) |
That's it for today from . . .

I have never been there, though I've driven by a number of times. I always wondered how to say that (as a transplant, I waited to hear someone else say words like "Siuslaw" or "Yaquina"), and was surprised at the pronunciation. Shampooee!!
What lovely photographs as usual, Michelle. What a great way to spend a Sabbath afternoon.
You get such good flower photos!
Thanks for sharing your lovely walk with us! Gasp, no goodies for the squirrel?! tsk, tsk! :D
Hugs,
