Near Bend, Oregon is an interesting place called Lava Lands. It reminds me of growing up in Flagstaff, Arizona. There is lava rock and Ponderosa Pine trees. It is a beautiful and interesting place to visit.We were told this “hill” was formed as a vent to the lava under the surface.This lava rock is very, very sharp!!It is interesting to see where the lava stopped flowing and the trees started growing.The lava flow was quite extensive across the valley!I loved seeing the contrasting colors of the lava, plants, trees, and sky!It was a beautiful day to visit Lava Lands!!The bright yellow flowers were interesting!These flowers were vibrant in contrast to the lava rock.We had intermittent rain and bright sunshine.Lava Lands has a rugged landscape.I was impressed by the size of the lava basin!The clouds created interesting shadows on the land.The landscape was amazing!The Ponderosa Pines reminded me so much of Flagstaff!After visiting Lava Lands, we went to the High Desert Museum. I loved the colors of these delicate flowers!I loved the detail with these flowers!I especially enjoyed watching the playful river otters!!I liked this eagle statue!This was especially interesting! It is a stack of quilts that were donated to the museum. What was especially interesting is that each quilt was tagged with the history of the quilt.This car was at the entrance to the museum and I thought it was quite entertaining!!I loved the colors of these berries near the entrance to the museum.
