I have been spending the last few days at the National IFYE Conference (International Farm Youth Exchange) that was held in Corvallis. I didn’t take part in the planning but tried to help out, whe
n they needed and extra hand. There are often little things you can do to help out, so that was me, just helping out.
For the daylong tour I choose the Oregon Garden and the Willamette Valley Vineyards. The Oregon Garden is always a nice place to visit and the great flowers gave me a chance to tryout my new camera. Of course the beauty of the garden is not just the flowers. Many of the plants have very beautiful leaves.
So weather it is a close-up of a flower or a larger view of many of the plants and flowers together, you can spend a long times enjoying the view and taking pictures. I only have a small portion of the pictures I took on flickr but tried to put on some of the better ones. Of course some of the view can only be appreciated in person. I did take some pano
ramic shots where I could use the Photoshop program to join several pictures together and that was great. But you still miss something without being there.
Of course, after a walk around the park and/or a ride on the tram a person can get hungry. The little café at the garden has a very nice place to eat outside and some great sandwiches to get you through the day. This was also a great time to talk with some of the other people attending the conference. Most of them I didn’t know but we all had shared a common experience in the exchange so it was fun to share experiences.
