My Dears,
I needed a getaway. So when I learned that Ashland, Oregon is only 3.5 hours away, it became my destination.
Ashland hosts an annual Shakespeare Festival. Well, it did until COVID hit. I'd heard it was a great place. I'm glad, too, that it wasn't swarmed with people there for the Festival.
Folks in Ashland very courteously wear masks, even when walking down the streets. They're friendly and nice. Buildings and benches are tagged with the four-letter word, "love." (Imagine gangsters deciding to tag public property with "love.")
On my way home, I caught these white beauties out of the corner of my eye. I'd keep driving, though. Wait, no, I gotta turn around! A few minutes later, I pulled into a bike lane. Camera-phone in hand, I rolled down my window. No, that won't do. I got out of my car, walked closely to these glorious creatures, and took a handful of photos.
Here's the most exquisite scene I've ever captured, plus a few more:
Dining by a fire-pit.
Green, green, green.
Love that shot of those gorgeous white horses! I envy you your little getaway, Robyn! I'm feeling SO housebound right now. I think it's because Spring is finally getting here in Edmonton. Guess I've got Spring Fever! Or something like that.
ReplyDeleteI know that feeling. I hope you can and do enjoy a getaway soon, Debra.
DeleteHooray for getaways - and for sharing them with less courageous more stuck people.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry that you're more stuck, EC. I won't agree you're less courageous, though.
DeleteA beautiful, cool town!
ReplyDeleteIt is, Mitchell. You've been?
DeleteThanks for commenting.
It's wonderful that you could have a getaway, especially in such a cool place.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
It's silly of me, Janie. I've been here 10 years, and this was the first time I drove into OR. It's not so far but far nicer in many ways.
DeleteLove.
I heard there were three white horses in that field!
ReplyDeleteOh no, Mike. The third must've been camera shy.
DeleteSmiles.
My aunt and uncle used to go there every year for that festival.
ReplyDeleteNice, Diane. Yeah, I'm sure a lot of people made that their annual pilgrimage. I'd love to go for the Festival, but I'm glad I was there during less crowded times.
DeleteLovely getaway. Thanks for sharing the pics. I feel calm as I head into my work day.
ReplyDeleteWell then it was indeed worth it, Joanne. Keep a relaxed mojo flowing.
DeleteBeautiful 🤩
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteSounds like a great town, and the horses are majestic!
ReplyDeleteIt's very fun and pleasant, Annalisa.
DeleteWonderful photos, and the downtown sculpture picture is intriguing.
ReplyDeleteThank you for saying this and for commenting, presstfortime.
DeleteI love the horse photos, beautiful animals. If you're into Shakespeare, I recommend Cedar City, UT where there is a top notch Shakespeare festival every summer and a short fall season. There used to be a neat summer festival at Sand Harbor on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe (it may still be going). I remember sitting on a blanket in the sand watching "Midsummer Night's Dream" but that was in the 80s.
ReplyDeleteI'm not that into Shakespeare as to visit UT, Jeff. Yeah, it's very fun catching those Shakespearean plays outdoors during the summer. I was able to do that in Oakland years ago. Thank you.
DeleteBeautiful pictures, friend! I am glad you were able to get away for a bit. I hope you enjoyed it to the fullest!
ReplyDeleteI did, Yvonne.
DeleteThank you.
Be well, friend.
Looks like you had a good time. I love the horses.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mary. Yeah, it was like a page from a fantasy novel. Glad I went back and that they stay posed for me. =)
DeleteAny get-away that involves horses has to be perfect. Thanks for sharing the great photos. Made me miss driving through Oregon.
ReplyDeleteOregon is beautiful country!
DeleteThanks, Marla.
Those two horses are truly beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had such a good time!
And they look pretty happy too.
DeleteI appreciate your dropping by and chiming in, Lon.
