Poor Caleb was allergic to something
.after pickin cherries to our hearts content we were famished.
for lunch we stopped at the china gorge. apparently the owners are indonesian. i thought it odd that we were taking students from china to a chinese restaurant, but hey food is food.
the pineapple sorbet was delicious, especially on a hot day like today.now that we are done with cherry picking what should we do? why go blue berry pickin' of course!
i did not take part in either activity since im a dedicated photographer :) hey, its not like i made them do all the hard work and ate the 'fruits' of their labor (pun intended).
.with blue berry picking over we headed to the Bonneville fish hatchery. having been there seeeeeveral times already i took 2 shots of the trout and i was done.
.now it sounds like a pretty full day doesn't it? oh no sir...we weren't finished yet. now what is a tourist attraction that everybody gets taken to when they first visit oregon? why
Multnomah Falls of course.
i usually get the same shots over and over again, but this time i finally can get the whole falls from the bridge. i never can do that cuz i dont have a wide enough lens. as luck would have it i spotted a fellow canonite. As my new friend and i got to talking he offered to lend me his
10-22mm ef-s lens.
i now drool even more for a wide angle lens. thank you fellow canonite for the loaner...whoever you are.
.by the end of the multnomah falls stop it was time for dinner. so good old Good Taste on 82nd and division-ish did the trick in filling our bellies.
.today was a fun time with old friends and new friends.
