That top one is really something (the Willamette Valley is not one of the best places for pretty sunsets and sunrises--not that I would know about the latter, ha--and made me miss the South), and the bottom one also made me a little homesick for the South. I only know of one water oak here in Eugene, and it will probably never get terribly big. Yet, a great many Southern trees do well here. Our first apartment here was in a place called Magnolia Manor after the Southern Magnolias that surrounded it.Snowbrushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00436087215476479042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-87726466999691502752011-11-14T15:33:45.368-06:002011-11-14T15:33:45.368-06:00Nice pictures.

No matter the day or the circumstance, you never fail to bring a smile or an inspiration.<br /> <br />Like TWG said - we all have our days, but we manage more good than bad and for that I know we are all thankful.
