Cottage Grove Walk

 A boy, his dog, a butte, and a path in Cottage Grove, OR.
 I'm not sure what these wildflowers are.  They almost look like small yellow poppies.
 What a happy dog.  It was a bit hot for him in the sun, so he needed to roll in the grass for a break.
 Another unknown flower.  Jim said that there's an iPhone app that allows you to take a picture of a leaf and it will identify the plant/ tree for you.  Don't know if it's for the whole country though.
 There a lot of covered bridges in Cottage Grove.  Do you like my multi-colored hiking outfit?

We've been enjoying the last few weeks of summer vacation together.  Well, it's not really vacation, but Jim's "break" from school.  Today we went to get some supplies for Jim's bike (he's prepping for his Eugene to coast bike ride) and to the Saturday market.  After lunch we headed out to Cottage Grove (a half hour south of Eugene) and went on a nice walk/ hike.  A lovely day.  Right now Jim's working on his bike in the middle of the living room.  We may ride our bikes to dinner this evening to test it out.
