As the sky became dark and the rains began we felt the wind pushing us to the shores edge.
{By his power he made earth.
His wisdom gave shape to the world.
He crafted the cosmos.
He thunders and rain pours down.
He sends the clouds soaring.
He embellishes the storm with lightnings,
launches the wind from his warehouse.}
And we were in the middle of it on that day.

More pictures of our canoe trip.
I thought it looked interesting to have horses along a rivers edge.
These are from the Sunriver resort for those who are staying there.
Another strange site was a dog on the rivers edge it’s owner nearby trying to fish of course having nine canoes pass by him didn’t help his fishing goal.
I love to sit and observe the sites around us as we move quietly in the water.
It really is very relaxing.
Oh I love the quiet and the beauty and how does anyone ever say there is no God?
It is beauty and more beauty and very peaceful.
The fresh air is so good for us to breathe in and out.
In silence we rowed and just kept our thoughts to ourselves.
It really didn’t seem right to talk much.
It was a serene place.
Back at camp we put our tent away and said goodbye to tent camping.
We were loaded up and ready to go home.
Home is always a good place to go back to.
Detroit lake on the way home… beautiful and majestic.

Heading home and still taking pictures.
The 2012 trip was over and I still have pictures to download.
Memories were made and we did enjoy ourselves even when it rained.
Central Oregon is a distant thought right now as we sit in 90+ heat.
I hope if you are reading this you are comfortable and able to enjoy our little bit of Oregon.
Continuing our canoe story.
God gave us such good opportunity to see wild life and the peaceful scenes around us.
Even when it rained it was not cold and later we were able to see such beauty.
Each time we we went down the river in our canoes the purpose of getting out of the water at our drop off point was to stop before the falls. They are rough and jagged with many twists and turns and very dangerous.
Before we headed home we did a small hike above the falls so we could see what was there.
It was majestic and so powerful and definitely not anything anyone would attempt in a canoe.
 |
| It had awesome beauty. |
 |
| The roar was so loud and so powerful. |
You realized how very small you are
when you stand there and see the force of that water and listen to the roar as it tumbles down upon rocks.
As we were looking at the falls we were blessed by a little surprise not far from where we were standing.
It was as if God was saying…
“I care about all things the powerful and the small”.
It was just sitting on a rock and enjoying the scene too.
If I ever had a ‘dream job’ it would be a wild life photographer
(of course it would depend on the kind of wild life).
I love to watch them in their natural habitat or scene.
Our trip was almost over and we were heading home soon.
The journey was a good one filled with family, friends and fellowship.
There were a few challenges but we survived and learned from them.
We look forward to the next canoe trip a year from now and we are also looking for a motorhome.
The days of tent camping are over.

Have your sound on … and listen closely.
Praying for the drought and the many cities affected by the scorching heat… the only thing that refreshes is the HEALING RAIN.
Oh Lord may we all rejoice in the washing of the water… sometimes we are annoyed by it but most times it is refreshing. Have mercy on us Lord and bring the rain.
