Home Cover Feature Crimson Clover …over and over. A perfect day in the Willamette Valley

Crimson Clover …over and over. A perfect day in the Willamette Valley

 

We had a wonderful afternoon today just taking our time visiting 2 of our favorite wineries….Belle Pente and Brickhouse. The CRIMSON CLOVER you see is grown often as a cover crop to be plowed in to enrich the soil for later crops of vegetables etc. It’s a sight to behold every May in Oregon and is part of the reason for our roadtrip to the valley today.

Unfortunately both of my DSLR Canon cameras are  in being repaired right now (hope to get at least one of them back this week) , so it gave me a good solid reason to bring along the new CANON S95 I purchased January in Hong Kong.   While nothing can really compare to the speed and final images from my big cameras, this little gem really does take a nice photo I have to admit.  The color was very accurate as everything was electric green and crimson pink in person ….just like you see in the pix.

BELOW I PUT TOGETHER A SHORT VIDEO FROM TODAYS IMAGES

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND MY FRIENDS!!!

    Hi Jan!!! OOOH we were just saying we need to go wine tasting with you and Larry sometime this year. We could go to just a couple of wineries then have a great lunch or dinner then come home…..makes for an easy relaxing day. That clover was just beautiful!!
