Daddy / Daughter date with kite flying tonight

Great time at the river today

It was quite hot, 97 degrees, the river was the only escape.

The trip to the farmers market inspired me to photograph a little bit tonight.

Vivi loves organic pears from the farmers market

Today marked the last hour long commute via I-84 to work. Tomorrow we move, then I can walk/bike to work.

A beautiful day in Hood River

While driving up to Cloud Cap above Cooper Spur Resort, we had a baby bear run across the road in front of us and scurry up a tree!
