18. Another afternoon in paradise!

We're on our deck in northwestern Oregon, with what the real estate people called a "territorial view."

There's a lake very nearby. Can't see it for the trees. There are two landmark mountains in the not-too-far distance. Can't see either of them for the trees.

There are just LOTS of trees. Big tall stately ones maybe 60-100 feet high. Simply intoxicating!

Pretty much all we see are trees. Some traces of civilization over on what I'm sure is the other side of the river. But lots of trees cover that turf, too.

Gee, what a shame. Just trees as far as the eye can see... It's like MajestyLand.

Feels like I've died and gone to a very green leafy Heaven!
