So much to see and do! Part 6 - Hood River Orchard and Farm

 
Once leaving Maryhill State Park & Rowena Crest we stopped off at one of the farms outside of Hood River.  This stop lasted much longer because there were so many amazing photos to take!
 
 
 
 
While there are still some flowers in bloom you can see fall creeping in as they are slowly dying off for the winter.
 
 
 
 
Then I gasped in excitement at the massive sunflower fields.  My mom thought I was nuts but, I was in heaven.  So many varieties of sunflowers and many still in bloom and many that were well past their prime.
 
 
  



 
 
 
 
This variety has deep tones of red and purple
 
 
 
 
Grapes dotted the fence line of the farm
 



So many beautiful living and dying sunflowers
 
 




  



 
 
With the sun going down we check out the vast pumpkin patch
 

 

 
 
More sunflowers and some where massive
 

 
 
 
 
The leaf color was stunning on this variety of dead sunflowers
 
 
 
 
 
More pumpkins and sunflowers on a beautiful day
 

 
 
Sun shadowed sunflowers
 

 
 
Last of the blooms for this year
 
 



 
 
 
 
 
Pumpkin time
 
 
 

 
 
Off we go and stay tuned to see what D'light and I see the next day as we head home.
