Daily Prompt Imitation/Flattery Write a post about anything you’d like — in the style of your favorite blogger. (Be sure to link to them!)
Last summer one of my long-lost cousins found me and that resulted in my flying to Oregon to visit. I used to visit Oregon often because my grandmother lived there with my aunt. It was wonderful to be there again. My cousin lives in the pretty very small town of Butte Falls, named after this fall on the Rogue River.

We went to see The Tempest at the Shakespeare Festival in Ashland — it was wonderful. Afterward we had a picnic in Lithia Park.

We visited Crater Lake which is near the small town where my cousin lives. It’s always a spectacular sight and I enjoyed very much going with her.

After living in drought-stricken Southern California, a visit to Oregon was amazing. Oregon is suffering from the same drought (and fires) but it was still much greener than the little mountains in which I was living last year. My stay was short and there wasn’t time to do many things we wanted to, but I’ll be back!
Pursuit of Life writes a better blog than this, but I always enjoy that it’s filled with pictures and his experiences. My post today is meant to imitate his.

Mental note: visit Oregon.
(The closest I’ve ever been is Wisconsin, so I have a lot of ground to cover…)
And I think you’re missing a thousand words in your headline. 😉
Yeah, when I started, I thought I’d only have 3 pictures but so it goes…
I lived in Oregon–Portland–for five years when i was a kid. Loved it. So much beauty. Some day I need to go back.
I, too, attended the Shakespeare festival in Ashland but much too briefly (a weekend jaunt from Vacaville, CA). Your photos are gorgeous. I’d totally forgotten just how beautiful Oregon is. Need to return sometime.
Thank you! First time taking photos with my iPhone (which I got just before I went to Oregon).
My home town … isn’t the lake amazing! It took me 25 years before I actually went there and I’m originally from the PNW.
Yeah, we people are funny that way! I lived 30 years in California and never went to Yosemite.
And I have learnt about another area of the States which was just a name to me up to now.

Oregon has it all: mountains, ocean, desert and forest. My heart is shaped like Oregon.
Oregon is an amazing place — I love your sentence, too. If my heart is shaped like any state, it’s Montana.
Martha you did a good imitation of your favorite blogger. Cheers! It’s such a difficult thing to do.
It wasn’t easy because I don’t read blogs to evaluate writing style. I just read them for interest and relaxation. I don’t even WANT to get into writing style. But I like John’s blog very much so I decided to imitate it since it’s more about pictures than words. 🙂
The photos were great too.
Thank you! 🙂
What spectacular scenery Martha! Hope you manage to get back there. ❤
I think I will — my cousin is coming to visit me at the end of May and then maybe I’ll figure out a good time to make another visit to her. It was beautiful and she was surprising. I had never known her — she’s 9 years older. But we had very uncanny things in common which made the discovery fun.
I also reunited with a cousin I hadn’t seen in over 50 years last year, but in my case I flew to Idaho…Cool. Judy
There must be a story there!
There is always a story there. I may have written it somewhere. So many piles and folders. So many file cabinets. So little time.
