LOOKING BACK - ...MIRROR POND, BEND OREGON

I came across these photos and am reminded of my trip to Bend, Oregon.  I'm hoping I can get back over the next few years and visit my son and his family and see some of the sights I love...especially Mirror Pond which is actually a part of DeSchutes river that runs through the city of Bend which is in Central Oregon and considered high desert.  This part especially was given it's name for the reflections that happen during a few seasons that I've been there, namely spring and fall. 

I remember being particularly taken with this house and the way it sits on the shore and is reflected in the water.  I love the yard with the chairs - and imagine sitting outside and  enjoying the scene - setting up a table and painting or sketching as people go  by on their paddle boats.  I'll be sharing more photos at a later time as it looks in the different seasons.  I think I also have some photos of winter time - and I know for sure I do of fall.
