Pics from our vacation

[Tim/Robin]

These are non-tortoise photos (sorry everyone, but there are no native tortoises in Oregon and Maggie your yard doesn't count ). We took a (short due to torts) trip to the Oregon coast. It's a great time of year to camp on the coast as all the children are still in school and the campgrounds are fairly quiet still .

Here are a couple of photos. This camera isn't such a foreign object anymore. Out of several hundred photos there were a handful of keepers (that's good right?!).

I (Robin) had lots of fun taking photos of mushrooms. I didn't even know I had a thing for mushrooms until I was in the soppy environment they thrive in! There are so many different types! Who knew.

Wow, what a nice place to go have fun and relax. Really nice pics, they would be really nice for a postcard. Is the white plants in the last pic a mushroom?

Yep and the stalk was only about the size of a spaghetti noodle. The whole plant only half an inch tall. Very small.

Really interesting, I never saw a mushroom like that

Robin, Great pics your mushroom is wonderful I can feel the humidity in that pic. But I must confess the second pic is my favorite. Thanks for sharing them with us. They are beautiful.

Understood. We really only take one vacation a year. This one was shorter than any previously. It's just too hard with so many torts and hatchlings on the way. We all worried a bit. Even taking a vacation from work and hanging around the house to get oddball chores crossed off the list is satisfying. We may do only that next year.
