Roundabout Appreciator



I've decided to become a roundabout appreciator.  (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjGKk7bee_M) (If you watch the video you'll see it's the Dull Men's Society.  But there are some women also.  Personally I don't think they are particulary dull.  In fact I laughed so much when I first saw this.  Love The Lord of the Rings.!)  So far I have 2 roundabouts in my collection.  The first, above, was taken a block away from our B and B in Lincoln City on our anniversary trip. September of 2017.
The second, below, taken a few minutes later.  I don't know if it qualifies as a roundabout. It was in a parking lot rather that a street.  But people drive 'round it to get 'round the parking lot, so...



I hope to add more roundabouts and post them here.  Keep your eyes peeled.  But don't hold your breath.

This was taken at Seaside, OR in May of 2018.  Lewis and Clark statue I think.
Taken in Cannon Beach, OR in May of 2018.  Just a walk uphill from our campsite to these wire statues of Lewis, Clark and Sacajawea.
Taken June 18, 2020
Finally!  Sarah and Isaac helped me get this roundabout on 172nd in Happy Valley.  We've been saying for several years that we ought to stop and take this pic.  But usually we don't have a camera of any kind with us or we are in a hurry.  The three of us went shopping and enjoying the sunny spring day-after so many rainy days-and took this along the way.

Taken Sept. 12, 2020 in The Dalles on our 28th anniversary.  The sky is very smoky due to the many wildfires going on in Oregon.  We were staying with the Baker family during this time because Estacada and the surrounding areas were evacuated.  Wildfires were very close and some homes were lost.  Thankfully ours was not and we went back home after 8 days.
